Improving safety in workplaces has to be a constant focus of conversation in company boardrooms, says a May 20th, 2011, article by Vince Versace of the Daily Commercial News. The People Bank President, Steve Jones, had a few notable things to say on the topic during the recent Partners in Prevention 2011 Health and Safety Conference and Trade Show. In the temporary staffing industry, there’s a highly transitional workforce that enters a work environment that companies like The People Bank cannot manage, supervise or control, said Jones. Joining industry safety associations has been key in learning best practices, innovations, improved worker training, securing rebates and injury reduction, he added. Jones said his company’s safety culture focuses on “activities” such as inspections or training program attendance to see if the safety message is coming through. Year-end reports are “lagging indicators” of safety effectiveness. “Focus on the activities knowing that if we are doing the right thing today the result we will get, in the future, is the result we are hoping for,” Jones said.

The People Bank was selected as the recipient of this award by a peer group that sits on the ACSESS Awards committee as a result of our commitment to education through participation in the Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) designation, ACSESS training and events, internal training including Executive Roadshows, Recruiter Roadshows, Bootcamps and numerous webinar training opportunities to name a few.
