The Shift from Profit-Driven Models
The current prevalent business model heavily emphasizes profitability, focusing primarily on maximizing shareholder value. This profit-driven approach has significant repercussions for internal workforce dynamics and external customer relations, leading to challenges such as income inequality and environmental impacts. Many organizations prioritize board directives over valuable insights from safety professionals, which could contribute to better overall safety and resource allocation. Recognizing the need for a strategic shift away from this outdated model is crucial for fostering healthier workplaces and addressing contemporary challenges.
