Workplace safety is extremely important, especially for companies where employees are exposed to dangerous environments, such as construction sites or assembly lines. Unfortunately, safety training is often overlooked by businesses, leaving employees exposed to all sorts of situations that could cause serious consequences if no one is there to offer first aid.
What business owners don’t acknowledge is that all work environments have a risk factor, even if some are smaller than others. Even the filing room in an office can possess a risk element, if the shelves are not hanged on the wall properly.
One of the first reasons why employers should provide health and safety training is to prevent the legal issues that could come from overlooking this aspect. If an employee gets injured while performing their duty, your company will be directly responsible and you could find yourself having to pay compensation and facing a lawsuit that could bring your business down. Workplace safety programs train employees to offer first aid and react in such situations where life could be at danger.
Providing safety and health training for your employees will also boost your company’s image in a positive way. They will feel protected and cared for, as they see you value their life and safety. Showing commitment towards the life of the employees demonstrates that you conduct your business in a professional way, by complying to laws and regulations and taking care of all your duties. Your company’s image will not only be improved in front of your competitors, but in front of your employees as well, as they will feel valued and cared for, which will make them less likely to want to find another job.
When it comes to cost savings, reducing the number of accidents ore health issues in the workplace will also reduce the number of absences for your employees, saving you costs and bringing more profit to the table. Besides that, everybody knows how expensive legal fees, compensations and lawsuits are, so avoiding them should be one of your top priorities. Apart from money issues, lawsuits can seriously damage the reputation of a company both in front of their clients and in front of future employees.
You might be asking yourself what training you should provide to your employees. Well, it strongly depends on the work environment. Training experts who provide safety consultation should do so after inspecting the workplace and determining what the potential hazards might be. One training program that every employee should be provided with is the emergency response training, so they know how to act as a first responder in case of an accident.
Stress inside the workplace will also be significantly reduced, when everybody knows they can count on someone to help them in case anything happens. Stress can take a toll on the well-being and productivity of employees, which will not bring any benefits to your company. Not only will the employees be more relaxed, but it will also give you, the business owner, some peace of mind, knowing your employees are as safe as possible.
Although vacancies are increasingly asking for staff without a ‘9 to 5 mentality’, eight hours of work per day in the Caribbean region has been the norm for 100 years. In other countries there is already a lot of experimentation with fewer working hours. The Swedish experiments with the 30-hour working week have reached many international media.
Work five days, 6 hours a day
The Swedish experiments first compared two different (working) models. The first model focuses on the 30-hour working week (five days working six hours a day), where managers give employees more freedom. From that freedom, as more can decide for themselves, they also produce more and their motivation is higher. The second model is just the opposite, and uses the traditional 40-hour working week. In this model, the focus is on management decisions and management. Managers motivate employees by properly indicating what happens in the process and when. In this way the company runs fully efficiently.
Experiments abroad
In a nursing home in Götenberg (Sweden) they experimented for no less than two years with this 30-hour working week from the Swedish model, after which they were thoroughly evaluated. What turned out to be? Everything had become more positive. Less fatigue, less absenteeism, less stress and higher client satisfaction. The only downside was increased costs. Logical, when employees are paid eight hours and work six hours. The revenues turned out not to be large enough to compensate for this gap. That is why the experiment at the Svartedalen nursing home was not continued, but the tests are continuing elsewhere.
For example, there is a Toyota maintenance center that works with complete satisfaction with shifts of twice six hours. A marketing agency in Scotland with highly skilled knowledge workers has also been working with the six-hour working day for two years. They start at 9:30 am and close the door at 3:45 pm. The result: the output and quality of that output are just as high as before – with the 40-hour working week. Absence and stress have decreased and there is a better work-life balance.
Experiments in the Netherlands
The Dutch are good at part-time work. A logical consequence of the one and a half earner model: man works full time, woman works part time. With the arrival of the 30-hour working week, the equal division of tasks between men and women suddenly comes much closer. To achieve that, customization is required. After all, you have to complete tasks from a 40-hour working week to a 30-hour working week. Employees must decide for themselves what the improvement should look like, and continue to hold onto this. If employees are given more room to determine the customized work themselves, then the motivation remains higher in the long term. And to achieve that, the biggest change is in the mindset – especially of the employer.
By experimenting with shorter working days or weeks, their fear can be relieved because they start to see the benefits. Offering freedom in working hours and workplaces (and thereby offering technologies such as video conferencing ) also helps to increase attractiveness as an employer. Shorter working days also offer a solution to the debate about hard professions, longer working hours and sustainable employability. The generation pacts and deals on part-time work during the final phase of working life already show this.
Cost
And what does this mean for the costs (also a frequently heard objection from employers)? Can working shorter hours be rewarded with a full-time salary? We can conclude that at least half of the hours is earned back by the increase in productivity. Whether that is sufficient to invest by employers in sustainable employability or by the government in a distant future in which fewer people are needed to do the same work can be seen. It would be interesting and strengthen our position as a pioneering country.
Focus is the engine
To make a 30-hour working week a success, it is important to give a clear focus to your employees. The fact is that if people have less time available, they are more critical of what really needs to be done. They often achieve the same quality in less time. It is a combination of the right assignment, the right deadline, sufficient appreciation and room to excel. On that leads to motivated employees, whether you should start with that motivation is chicken and egg.
In the Caribbean region (CARICOM), Governments must come together to discuss about this.As the climate is changing very fast, we have to change systems.
Rural farms are increasingly faced with labor shortages, especially in Japan. For the Nileworks Inc startup, the solution lies in the very latest technology – such as drones. The latest technology of this drone startup has been tested in northeastern Japan for several months.
The Nile-T18 drone is designed to analyze rice stalks and determine how much fertilizer or pesticide the crop needs. The drone can then add fertilizer in just 15 minutes, a task that involves a human worker for at least an hour. Nileworks is currently negotiating with the Japanese authorities to enable farmers to get their drones to do their work without a permit. “Now that we are facing a shortage of next generation farmers, it is our mission to come up with new ideas to increase farmers’ productivity and income.
A Farmer with his agricultural drone in action
Maybe it is already time for Caribbean farmers to get into this upcoming trend.
Your load was apparently greater than your capacity. Have you burned out, do you no longer have any fut, or can you barely concentrate? Do you have a noise in your head or the feeling that your head consists of cotton wool? Do you cry, are you frustrated? You bet you’re burned out.
In ninety percent of the cases, burnout is followed by a non-real fear. It happens to entrepreneurs and managers who often set high standards and find it difficult to accept that they cannot do something.
As a woman, do you have a dual function such as work and family and are you also an informal caregiver? Then you are soon in the danger zone. You get disappointed in yourself, which in turn leads to stress, fatigue, fear of failure, all kinds of other complaints and finally to exhaustion.
Hard to comprehend
If you are burned out mentally, then your mind can hardly contain burnout. It is going to lead a life of its own and you become increasingly stressed.
“Flip a button”
Not only you, but everyone who is burned out, has the feeling that somewhere ‘a knob must be turned’. If this does not happen quickly, your complaints will get worse! Compare it with a broken leg.
Broken leg
You break it in one go and it is also set in one go. Only then will your healing begin. If you continue to walk with it without having to let your leg get stuck, then it will crochet together.
Put first
It is the same with burnout. First ‘set’ by ‘turning the right buttons’ and then the healing starts. It took you a while to become burned out, but the first symptoms suddenly appeared and got worse.
Unknowingly know
You unknowingly know that you have the ability to change negative or positive in one go. Hence the feeling of that button.
The best approach
A correct approach does not therefore have to take long. Positive change is faster than you think. Unfortunately it does not happen automatically. The condition is that you are motivated and willing to fully commit yourself.
Burnout seems to turn your life upside down in one go. But it is the other way around. Burn-out means that you have finally landed with both feet on the ground … It is not a curse, but a blessing. No blockage, but an opportunity.
Burnout is not a disease or weakness, but a sign of powerful self-healing capacity.
HERE THE FIVE BLESSINGS:
Blessing 1: Burn-out extends your life Burn-out is a reminder that you have an expiration date. Anyone who is exposed to enormous stress every day will get a stomach ulcer, heart attack, or cancer … And in the end you will die from long-term stress, directly or indirectly, simply. A burnout prevents it from happening. You simply can no longer continue as before. You can therefore greatly thank your body. It does not let you down, but prevents you prematurely dying. Burn-out is a brilliant example of self-healing capacity.
Blessing 2: Burnout brings passion Various studies indicate that people on their deathbed mainly regret what they have not done. Of always postponing it. As if life is endless. A burnout tells you that NOW is the perfect time to not postpone anything for you. Take care of yourself. Live with attention. Follow your heart, passion and dreams. Spend more time with the people you love. Because not a single day returns. And, as the Little Orchestra once sang: started long ago …
Blessing 3: Burnout erases your old hard drive If you get burned out, it is as if your internal hard drive has been erased. You become an empty head. Focusing on something is impossible. Even something as simple as making coffee can suddenly be a huge task. It seems like you’ve lost your mind. Don’t make the mistake of looking for it. After all, you cannot solve a problem with thought patterns that are the cause of it. Life only becomes truly worthwhile if you take this opportunity to change your mindset and thereby your actions.
Blessing 4: Burnout gives wings Burnout is often mistakenly seen as a sign of weakness. While life is challenging you at that moment to experience your own strength. It is a transformation. You are no longer happy with the life you led. It is a too tight jacket that tears because you have grown too large. Like a cocoon bursts when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. And this person can fly into her freedom. Burnout is your moment to spread your wings. It is not an end, but a fresh start. A chance to finally choose what you are meant for.
Blessing 5: Burn-out makes you better at work Burn-out makes you a better and extremely reliable employee, colleague or manager. Because it learns to focus on what’s good for you. And from there you can also be better for others. You make better choices, discover where your strengths lie and what your limits are. In addition, from now on you will signal it when others enter the burn-out danger zone. And with that know-how, you can greatly help your colleagues and employer.
1. Set goals
2. Achieving goals
Still, many entrepreneurs are going wrong there.
1. No / vague goals
2. Work harder and harder as a strategy to achieve the goals.
Can you NOW list your 3 most important business growth goals for Q4 2019?
Most people can't name anything.
And the people who say something do not set goals, but hope:
More sales
Better customer retention
Larger margins
That kind of goals is like a darts game where the assignment is:
"Throw some arrows in the board."
Quite hopeless. And yet that is exactly the way so many entrepreneurs try to grow.
Vague. Without strategy.
The danger: if you throw enough arrows in the direction of the dartboard, an arrow will automatically end up in the bulls eye once in a while.
The entrepreneur happily throws his arms in the air and shouts, "You see, it works!"
In reality this is the formula for success:
1. Set meaningful and challenging goals
2. Develop a system for achieving those goals
If a goal is not useful, stop it immediately in the event of a setback or temptation.
If a goal is not challenging, you only go half way for it.
Furthermore, it is important to realize that you do not have to work twice as hard to double your result.
If you continuously focus only on what matters most, your output will double without increasing your input.
But there is a step missing in this formula.
And without this step you can achieve goal after goal, and eventually die with regret.
The formula for sustainable success:
1. Set meaningful and challenging goals
2. Develop a system for achieving those goals
3. Develop habits so that you enjoy the goals you have achieved (the missing step)
If you don't have them, Learn them, Develop them, Use them, make them your habit.
Hugging does a person good and we owe that to the hormone oxytocin. It is not without reason that it is also called the hug hormone. As early as 1906, scientists saw how our brains produce oxytocin through touch and social interaction.
Later more and more were discovered about this. The hormone oxytocin, for example, is important to get an emotional bond with someone and indispensable in giving birth and breastfeeding children. The hormone causes contractions to be induced for childbirth. From birth it contributes to the attachment between mother and child and together with the other hormone prolactin it provides the reflex reflex needed for breastfeeding.
Crucial role
Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that oxytocin is crucial much earlier than during labor. They conclude that the hormone is essential for brain development of an embryo, because it plays a role in the formation of blood vessels in the pituitary gland.
Instinct
Both women and men make oxytocin. The hormone ensures that we reproduce as a species. Because it is a substance that makes us feel good, oxytocin can be seen as a reward for our brain. We are rewarded for being with others. This causes us to be social beings and explains why loneliness makes us sick.
The release of oxytocin is related to a person’s ability to build meaningful relationships. Hugging your child is an ancient, natural instinct that gives both the parent and the child a good feeling. In addition, it forms the basis of our emotional and physical well-being.
