Health and Safety: the importance of a safe working environment for maintaining staff morale
4 y+ p' u  p2 e+ w      Firms that create a safe working environment not only prevent injuries but improve the morale of their employees as well. I feel strongly that this is something indispensable for any company.
- L, ^/ i/ `$ h1 }# y6 F       First of all, a safe working environment offers peace of mind to staff members and therefore can significantly motivate staff to enhance a firm’s productivity.  As a result, many leading firms, such as Intel and GE, now identify workplace safety as one of their main goals. Not surprisingly, these are some of the best performing firms anywhere in the world.
: B( Q% E2 H2 V) }% L    What’s more, a safe environment can reduce the occurrence of workplace accidents, which are usually a source of staff dissatisfaction and low trust in the management.  Taking safety measures can enhance staff loyalty and, in turn, moral.  For instance, Levi Strauss and Co. imposes safety guidelines not only in its US facilities but also in Asian factories where some of its clothes are made. Starbucks, meanwhile, has developed a code of conduct in an attempt to improve the quality of life in coffee-producing countries, in an effort to buck against sweatshop-like working conditions.  These two companies have been rated highly by their employees.. R. d' O! A# N* Q
    In short, if you want to boost morale among your staff, or to put it in plain words, if you want to see enthusiasm, confidence, or loyalty in your workforce, then safety should have your prior attention.
