You Can't Put a Price on Safety,
But Do It Anyway
Investing in safety is the best financial decision a company can make.
“It shouldn’t take much convincing for the top brass to agree that having a safe workplace is a good thing, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. Even somebody as highly placed in the management tiers as Jana Gessner, vice president of EHS with the food, snack and beverage giant PepsiCo (a Fortune 50 company), knows the frustrations of selling safety to the C-suite.”
Despite the fact that many of our Dealer members are committed to safety, If you share the same struggle, click HERE to read the whole article including excerpts from a report on “the ROI (Return on Investment) of safety” compiled by AmTrust Financial Services, a provider of workers’ compensation insurance.
