Go beyond compliance
08 September 2014
How often have you heard the phrase "we want our business to be compliant' from senior managers, as if it is some holy grail that will solve all their health and safety issues?

Although understandable, surely the point is being missed here, Callidus Health & Safety says. "If an organisation sees compliance as its ultimate aim, they are limiting themselves as to the benefits they can achieve by adopting a more aspirational, performance-based approach to managing health, safety and wellbeing within their business."
It adds: "If you take compliance as merely one element of excellent performance, you are opening up the possibility of achieving real business benefit in terms of efficiency, sustainability, worker engagement and - ultimately - profitability."
Callidus encourages businesses to think outside the box by, for example, identifying how effective health, safety and wellbeing adds value to your business and integrating performance measures that aspire to enhance this value.
