This collaboration between Laura Goodrich, Seeing Red Cars, and Tom Wojick, who has developed a successful approach to organizational safety titled, Partners In Safety, will share how you can break free from outdated and ineffective models and concepts of motivating employees to be intrinsically motivated to care about their safety and that of their co-workers.   

A high-performing, positive safety culture doesn’t happen by accident or by adding one safety program on top of another. But too often, that’s what’s happening—and that’s why safety isn’t improving and costs you more each year.

If you are being influenced by ideas about change and human performance that were devised in the early 20th century, then it’s time to break these outdated patterns and focus on what you and your employees really want—a positive outcome culture where safety is a value that is embraced, shared and realized by all employees.

This special edition “Seeing Red Cars” audio conference will help you and the other leaders in your organization transform your safety program into a full, productive safety culture, where employees are intrinsically motivated to share, partner and collaborate.
Seeing Red Cars: How to break free from outdated safety models

Imagine if 69% of employees in your organization came down with chronic flu. Multiple employees are calling in sick and those who do come in barely have enough energy to make it through the day. No you didn’t miss a bulletin about the swine flu, and it does sounds surreal, but this is occurring every day and its called disengagement. I call it Chronic Human Wasting Disease ™ (CHWD).

CHWD means minutes, hours, weeks and months of unproductive time and projects stalled. These are all important issues, but the real unfortunate and dangerous aspect of this disease is not the lost minutes or down time; it’s that the relationships that you and your organization need to be successful are not working, both literally and figuratively. People are not engaged with their work, their leaders or their organization – they are wasting away at their desks!

The most recent study of workforce engagement found that only 31% of workers worldwide are engaged. This means that 69% are infected with CHWD. The study also found that 45% of employees are looking for healthier places to work. Leaders and organizations need people at their physical, emotional and intellectual peak, committed and aligned with the organization’s goals in order to meet the tough demands of the current business environment. Nobody can afford to have over half his or her workforce sick with the flu!

Relationship – Centered Leadership attacks the causes of CHMD. It is an approach to leadership that prevents the disease from incapacitating employees and hindering organizations’ ability to reach their potential.

The program Relationship – Centered Leadership will assist you in becoming a leader knowledgeable in the causes of CHWD and adept at recognizing its symptoms. Most importantly, it will provide you with strategies to build the professional relationships and climates that prevent this disease from infecting employees and wrecking havoc on productivity.

As a participant in this program you will recognize that by:

Applying the power of purpose

Leveraging trust

Employing your authentic presence and power of influence

Demonstrating your commitment and courage to live by your values; and

 Practicing the principles of resiliency,

 You will be able to stop, reverse and prevent Chronic Human Wasting Disease from threatening the human and organizational potential that is waiting to flourish in your organization.
