Truth or Fiction?
Injuries are a part of business – theory: This is what we are doing when we set goals to only injure 5 associates or set a goal of reducing injuries by 10% each year. We are accepting that 5 associates will be injured this year and 4½ associates next year. Basically we are creating a self-fulfilling “prophecy”.
Consider running our business following this theory?
Why does it appear easy for us to accept an injury to an employee, or to project those “losses” into the future?
Is it because we have an underlying belief that every injury cannot be prevented?
Or perhaps the cost of preventing every injury is too high?
Next post will discuss the cost of these losses.
Wow!
