Far-reaching benefits of HSW transformation
While transforming HSW is no small task, the benefits are huge, and can be seen across all aspects of the business, offering:
- Better business performance: Reducing people’s administrative burden and cognitive load gives them the time and mental capacity to focus on value-adding work that drives commercial advantage.
- Stronger legislative compliance: A focus on managing critical risks and integrating HSW with the business increases regulatory coverage, reducing workers’ compensation liability, legal exposure and reputational damage.
- Enhanced social impact: A proactive, people-centred approach to HSW improves employee health, safety and wellbeing, giving companies an edge in the fight for talent and boosting reputation among local and broader communities.
A better way forward
COVID-19, for all its challenges, has offered us a glimpse into a better way of doing things, demonstrating the benefits of taking a new approach to HSW. Building an agile, simple, and flexible approach to keeping workers safe and well, while giving them the confidence and the freedom to be more innovative, can unlock productivity gains and create a positive workplace culture.
