Safety Leadership
The Value of Motivation in Safety Efforts
Safety, like other aspects of business, is dependent on the performance of workers. It has been said that performance is equal to ability times motivation (P=AM). Increasing ability is an ongoing issue that should not be ignored. But, if ability can be enhanced or completely nullified by this multiplier called “motivation”, “influence” or “drive”, then it should be a strategic goal of every safety effort.
