“The number one driver of employee safety engagement, performance improvement, quality, and productivity is not a t-shirt, a ball cap, a pizza party, nor is it a bigger 4011k plan or even working from home. The single biggest driver of employee morale, engagement, and mental health is when my boss looks me in the eye and sincerely says, ‘Bill, here's what you did for safety. You reported that near hit. You capped the rebar, and here's why that matters. You let one of your coworkers go home safe tonight.'”-- Bill Sims, Jr., President at The Bill Sims Company and Keynote SpeakerAfter extensive experience as a leadership and educational speaker, Bill Sims, Jr. has dialed in one base principle that improves safety, morale, and employee motivation. By positively reinforcing desired behaviors, employees are safer and more productive, fostering a growing culture for company-wide change.Join us as we interview Bill on his journey to this realization and learn from his experiences implementing his ideas at large and small companies, both in construction and outside the industry. Sometimes, truly disruptive ideas like positive reinforcement come from other areas of life and, when applied elsewhere, create massive change.Topics discussed in this interview:- Positive reinforcement in a construction setting- Why apply this concept to job site safety?- Focusing on construction as the next major area of opportunity for innovation- What really motivates behavior change?- Lessons learned from experiments and attempts- What motivators are most effective?- How do different generations respond to different methods of motivation?- What does working with Bill Sims, Jr. look like?- Consequences and behavior modification- The role of company culture- Teaching leadership at Disney- Safety unicorns?- Rapid fire questionsVisit Bill's website to learn more, hire him to speak, or pick up a copy of his book, Green Beans and Ice Cream.For more Construction Disruption, listen on Apple Podcasts or YouTubeConnect with us on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedInThis episode was produced by Isaiah Industries, Inc.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

On this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth welcomes Bill Sims, a distinguished keynote speaker and author in safety, leadership, and employee empowerment. Bill is recognized for his insights into creating a safer and more productive work environment by emphasizing the importance of positive reinforcement, understanding generational dynamics in the workplace, and challenging traditional safety practices. Bill and Mary Ann delve into the realm of Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) and its intersection with behavioral-based safety, drawing insights from his book, Green Beans and Ice Cream. According to Bill, effective communication involves not only articulating ideas but also actively listening to others. By valuing input from all levels, leaders can tap into the valuable knowledge that workers possess about potential workplace dangers. Bill emphasizes the importance of fostering a workplace culture in which leaders not only communicate their expectations but also listen attentively to the insights and concerns of their workforce. Leadership behavior is a powerful force in shaping the culture of a company, influencing both employee behavior and overall results. Bill emphasizes that positive reinforcement is a powerful tool for leadership, underscoring the need for leaders to understand how to create a culture of commitment. He advocates for tailoring positive reinforcement strategies to individuals rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. This personalized approach is essential for fostering a culture where individuals feel valued and motivated.  When employees feel that their contributions are appreciated and that they are being recognized for their accomplishments, they are more likely to be engaged in their work and to feel a sense of belonging to the company. As Bill puts it, leaders can either ignite a fire underneath their people or inside them. Resources Bill Sims on the Web | LinkedIn | X (Twitter) Faremouth.com

Why Zero Injuries Is NOT Your Goal With Bill Sims Jr

Our guest on today's show is the president of the Bill Sims Company for over 40 years they have created positive reinforcement systems helping large and small firms inspire better performance amongst their employees while increasing bottom line profits. Zero Injury Policy Originated Beginning in 1981 as Bill Sims, Jr. was walking through a textile company he noticed signs and posters that read, “Zero Injuries Our Goal” and “Target Zero Injuries” every place he went he would witness how many days since a last record of an injury and so on. The reason most companies and public entities have this policy as a goal is its been around for many many years and there hasn't been much reason or encouragement to change this goal of no injuries. It wasn't until the tragedy BP faced years ago known as the Horizon Disaster that Bill started to wonder if the Zero Injury policy wasn't the right goal for leaders of a company to have. This company was 7 years' injury free until on that tragic day when 11 people died on an oil rig – were they operating on the absence of accidents or the presence of safety? Having a ZERO INJURY Policy is setting up your workplace environment up for unsafe behaviors. Evidence That Zero Injuries is not the Goal Within your workplace are your practicing and preparing for an injury or fatality? Everyone is always taking shortcuts within companies whether its texting while driving or not following all of the safety procedures. The important thing Bill wants us to realize is that they way a business or entity is functioning is behavior and if you want to change your workplace results than you need to start implementing changes to the behaviors.
