Flooring: Non Skid
Non skid products, like non skid shoes and non skid flooring, will go a long way to preventing needless trip and fall accidents. Unfortunately, laboring under dangerous conditions may still lead to personal injury liability lawsuits, if youre not careful. Thats why I advise all CEOs and small business owners to put worker safety first. Follow the rules and regulations as recommended by OSHA.
Furthermore, dont necessarily view your labor union as an opponent. Far too many companies engage in baiting their unions to extract more concessions from their workers. However, I believe that this aggressive approach is fundamentally flawed. If you want to generate better income streams and fix your bottom line, work with the union to develop solutions for the company as a whole.
A Non Skid Ethos for Company Management
Part of the problem comes as a result of the hierarchical nature of most modern corporations. Thats why a new non tiered system of company management is being cultivated by many Silicon Valley firms. This system, loosely based on computer networking models, involves teams of employees working on a more or less equal platform. Many variations on this theme are being explored.
Synergizing corporate operations with your labor process is a difficult and time consuming task, especially if youre working from an old infrastructure. Dont expect your changes to be welcomed with open arms from either the executive board or union leaders. Yet stick with your vision for a safer workplace, a more productive team environment, and a better reputation as a caring company.
