3. Ensure Supervisors Know their Responsibilities
Understand your legal duties and establish a
process to protect employees and reduce risk.
Supervisors play a critical role in health and
safety and so much more. Good supervisors
protect employees, help improve productivity,
and reduce risk. They also motivate their teams
and create a positive workplace culture – all
of which boost profit margins and shareholder
returns. A well-trained supervisor is one of the
best assets an organization can have.
