Mission or Purpose/Job Importance

It’s more than just a paycheck.

Excellent performance occurs when people are deeply attached to a sense of purpose in their lives. When employees feel their job is important, they want to do more of it.

When people feel a connection between the work they do and their personal mission, they’re more likely to stay with an organization and feel like they’re an integral part of something bigger than themselves.

Help them see their importance.

And that’s smart business.

Opportunities to Learn and Grow

Be a grow pro.

One way employees can learn and grow is to find more efficient ways to do their jobs. The best managers know an organization’s growth depends on employees’ capacity to learn and grow. The best teams are never quite satisfied with current ways of doing things. They always strive to find better, more efficient ways to work.

Where there’s growth, there’s innovation.

Challenge me.

And that’s smart business.

Distracted driving

That text is not worth it.

When driving, don’t take your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel or your mind off your primary task of driving safely. Any non-driving activity you engage in is a potential distraction and increases your risk of being involved in a crash that could kill or injure you or someone else, or cause property damage. No distractions — focus on driving!

And that’s smart safety!

Walking hazards

Walk much?

Anticipate hazards as you’re walking. Slow down when you approach a corner. If you think a surface might be slippery, take short, sure steps instead of longer strides. Make sure you can see over the top of parcels you’re carrying. Keep one hand free to use handrails on stairways. Wear slip-resistant footwear, appropriate for the weather. Leather-soled shoes or high heels are especially hazardous in winter weather.

Following these tips will help keep you from a fall that could result in injury and lost work days.

And that’s smart safety.
