FactorLab, Inc.

We couldn’t agree more with what James Clear shared in his latest newsletter. At FactorLab, we pride ourselves on being generous with our ideas—because now is not the time to hold back. The future of injury prevention in the workplace demands collaboration and imagination. And here’s the truth: We have a lot of new ideas—and we’re happy to share them. We want to hear from you too! There are perspectives we can’t imagine unless we connect with others. If you’re working on something exciting, let's talk. Because when ideas flow, solutions grow.

What an honor to be a part of an industry changing event with FactorLab, Inc. and the many companies that participated. The 1st Annual #SmartTagIt Leadership Conference was a success and I am excited to see what this is in a decade and where our industry is!!! #Flintco #Factorlab #Flintco4LIFE

We’re in a time of significant disruption, where the challenges we face also present incredible opportunities for the industry to make bold leaps forward. It feels chaotic and uncertain. Yet, in times like these, there are certain leaders who not only see potential for their own growth, but also see it for their organizations and the industry as a whole. They want to not only improve  themselves, but are genuinely committed  to helping their competitors and their peers, because we all share common ground. The Vision Award recognizes those leaders who are embracing  the uncertainty, who don’t just look inward but outward, to leverage the collective wisdom, experience and knowledge to elevate everyone, especially those with fewer resources. Through their dedication, they inspire others to elevate safety and achieve greater success. #Surge2024 #FactorLab #InnovationInSafety #VisionAward

“A safety culture is a culture that allows the boss to hear bad news.” – Sidney Dekker There is no better investment than helping middle managers prepare for and respond well to bad news- especially when they are under pressure. #LeadershipDevelopment #MiddleManagement #CrisisManagement #WorkplaceSafety

The Best Coach award celebrates the dedication of coaches who drive safer workplaces by inspiring and guiding their teams. Over 100 leaders submitted conversations. These conversations are supported by leaders who chose to dedicate their time to help others grow and improve. We’re excited to recognize the one leader who made the greatest strides, going above and beyond to help others  get better at this daily planning activity. Their hard work makes all the difference! #Surge2024 #FactorLab #SafetyLeadership #BestCoach

The Best Conversation Spanish award honors the excellence of daily planning conversations from our bilingual and Spanish speaking crews. With over 35% of our conversations held in Spanish, AI allows us to peer into their conversations and uncover hidden leadership qualities. We can’t wait to recognize the most effective leader whose voice might have gone unnoticed without this technology. Who will shine this year? #Surge2024 #FactorLab #SeguridadPrimero #BestConversationSpanish

#MindfulMonday Proxy metrics: What are they and why should I care? Simply put, a proxy metric is a measure that correlates with an outcome of a given system, even if that measure isn’t explicitly related. Take this statement for example: If You Can Hang From a Bar For This Long, Scientists Say You're Likely to Live a Longer, Healthier Life At first glance, it seems odd that hanging from a bar is going to protect you from all the things that kill people every year. On the other hand, it isn’t so off-base to suggest that if you are doing the things that enable you to hang from a bar for a minute then you will likely live a healthier life. These types of examples are everywhere, and a common one we see is the ability to have an authentic Daily Planning Conversation. Much like the previous example, simply discussing hazards and controls could have a range of outcomes. The real gold is the environment that enables these conversations to happen. After all, it’s not too far off base to suggest that environments where people show care, set expectations appropriately, and truly engage in the activity are those who are likely to come home safe. #ProxyMetrics #SafetyCulture #DailyPlanning #MindfulLeadership

The Best Conversation award shines a spotlight on exceptional front-line leaders who engage their crews in meaningful daily planning conversations. Out of 300,000+ daily planning conversations this year, less than 2% score above 30. That's an elite group of leaders who stand out by creating safer, more efficient work environments through powerful communication. We can’t wait to reveal who the best leaders are and celebrate their achievements. Stay tuned for the finalists! #Surge2024 #FactorLab #SafetyCommunication #BestConversationEnglish
