To answer the question that heads this article, it is necessary to focus on all aspects of a Certificate of Recognition (COR) in order to find its power to enhance a company’s reputation.
What changes occur in a company that obtains a COR?
Beyond implementing workplace safety changes, considering a COR involves developing healthy practices for employees, i.e., focusing on their physical, emotional and psychological well-being, aspects that would not have been considered years ago.
When deciding to achieve a COR, the company has to improve in the following areas:
Define a new job vacancy or enhance the responsibilities of a team member who is responsible for learning about occupational safety or health.
Modify all the physical and operational risks of the company. It is necessary to recognize the risks and to offer to all the personnel, as well as to the infrastructure of the company, the solutions to diminish them.
Training meetings are held to motivate staff; strategies are developed to keep employees committed to occupational health and safety.
Individual workstations are improved, an Improvement Department is opened where space is allowed to suggest methods to reduce demands and create a less rigid work environment (it depends on each company). In many cases, it is decided to make integral improvements that involve the psychological security of the employees.
Each one of these improved aspects results in a service of excellence proposed by each member of the team, and by feeling cared for and pleased, employees increase their level of productivity and demonstrate to customers the quality of the company’s work.
If they are doing well within the company, customers will notice it
Although it seems improbable, well-being is contagious from one environment to another. Clients can perceive whether they are hiring a company with a harmonious or a hostile work model, and the latter can be a letter of recommendation.
Nowadays, people like to find partners, allies or service providers that maintain a standard of quality that goes beyond service. It has to do with attention, pace of care and follow-up.
Companies that have committed and productive employees have a customer service that builds loyalty and keeps the company’s operations in constant motion.
Safety in every project is also valued
In addition to all of the above, working with an insurance provider who is responsible for assessing the security aspects is key to finding an optimal outcome.
Clients do not want to worry about the performance of their contractors. On the contrary, they want to delegate to a company that makes them feel safe because they will perform under a functional safety standard.
The Certificate of Recognition (COR) guarantees that: a methodical work that has considered all aspects of risk and finds solutions to avoid it, resulting in a neat work, which provides welfare to the community.
