Building an organization on a foundation of safety helps reassure your employees that you are committed to their health and well-being, and it helps to build trust within your organization. We believe that becoming one of the safest companies in America is a way to show your employees how much you value them.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the principles and tactics that have contributed to Milliken’s journey to world-class safety processes over the course of the past 30 years.

Key takeaways:

• How a foundation of safety can build trust and engagement within your organization and leads to complete ownership of the process.
• Defining the roles and responsibilities of everyone in your organization, from top leadership to middle management and plant associates, helps everyone understand how to work together.
• Ways to support the process through tools, education and recognition.
