“Workers reluctant at work are more prone to serious injuries, new research has claimed.” Well we are here again to discuss on safety equipment at workplace. Nahhh…Not really!!! Lets stick to “happy workers” and their significance in an organization. The secret of joy in work is passion and zeal. Workers are valuable and we firmly believe that happy workers are directly proportional to safer workplace. They are the building blocks and backbone of healthy firm.
Now why we say so ? To understand better one must know the true cost of injuries in workplace. In a way, how reluctant workers welcome injuries and their impact overall.
A recent study says preventing work injuries needs proper understanding of how they occur. Workers feeling low with towering levels of stress, burnout, anxiety and depression tend to cause more injuries. Its often difficult to reduce or manage injuries from this sector if one ignores psychologically related factors. High emotional exhaustion will drive in reduced productivity and higher absenteeism, all of which lead to higher injuries sooner or later.
So having an awareness of workplace’s psycho-social risk and creating a superior safety culture will boost company productivity and reduce the likelihood of casualties occurring from emotional exhaustion. To brief out spending mega dollars on safety equipment and keeping a check on worker psychology should go hand in hand.
