At WKSA we believe that the key to employee productivity is to keep them motivated. Employees can remain motivated if they feel safe and happy at their workplace. It is only when the employees feel safe at work that they can invest the fullest of their capacities and will exploit the best of their potentials to work.
Our Managers demonstrate their concern for safety by interacting with employees and discussing safety issues. When managers pay attention to reports of mishaps and near misses, it sends out a message that safety in the workplace is important. The follow-up to the report is always positive and not punitive in nature.
A safe work environment means that businesses can operate effectively and successfully while increasing worker performance and morale. "Safety First" is a core value of our culture, and we are dedicated to protecting the safety and health of all those associated with our company.
