EP 72: How Sept. 14, 1995 Shapes MY Perspective

Prioritize understanding the 'why' behind seemingly unusual requests or behaviors from team members; personal experiences often drive these perspectives.

Invest in comprehensive job site security, including fencing, security personnel, and adequate lighting, to ensure all employees feel safe, regardless of gender or role.

Extend safety considerations beyond the job site to office environments, ensuring well-lit parking lots and secure facilities for employees working late or early shifts.

Recognize that safety measures are not solely for women; every individual deserves to feel secure in their workplace, and policies should reflect this universal need.

When advocating for new safety protocols, share the personal stories or experiences that inform your perspective to build empathy and convince others of the necessity.

Implement proactive safety measures based on potential risks, rather than waiting for an incident to occur before making improvements.

Foster a culture where employees feel comfortable expressing their safety concerns, knowing they will be heard and understood, leading to more inclusive and effective solutions.
