Strengthening Safety Culture: The Affective Approach
We know that rules and regulations along with policies and procedures are essential for running an efficient, productive, and safe organization. But, when was the last time a rule policy reminded someone that their child was waiting for them to get home? Or, when has a procedure brought to mind images of what it would be like to deliver devastating news to the spouse of someone injured on the job?
Research shows that policies alone are not enough to change behavior and transform a safety culture.
The affective approach uses feelings and emotion to engage people and remind your workforce WHY it is important to follow policies, procedures, rules and regulations. In this dynamic interview, Craig Sexton, Global Creative Director for DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS), will explain how you can use affective communication to help enhance safety communications, engage employees, and lead to safer behaviors. You’ll learn about the key elements that leaders can utilize to authentically inspire and influence employees to take fewer risks and own their safety.
By better understanding human motivational factors and their impact on leadership and the decision-making process, you’ll discover how you can reach employees’ hearts and minds to change behavior and enrich safety culture.
