I just had an injury! How do I make sure that never happens again?

When an injury occurs within an organization, it can be difficult. So how do you make sure it never happens again?

When somebody gets injured it’s a very traumatic event, both for the leaders, when they actively care for that team member; as well as for other team members around. It’s not about creating a new program at the moment when that happened but it is about looking at your system and how did we create an environment where people can make an unsafe choice that puts them in harm's way.

The first step, after looking at actively caring for all your team members and demonstrating that team members come first; is understanding where you are at from a cultural standpoint. This will help you find the right strategies that will have the right impact, because each organization is different. There is no silver bullet in the world of business unfortunately, so it’s a question of understanding and then driving the right strategies that have a meaningful impact and sticking with it.
