Technological wearables are on the horizon in fast-paced world, but JMJ ascribes to the tried and true IIF approach to address safety. We combine the traditional focus on the processes, practices and individual behaviors used to improve safety with an exploration into how people think about, feel about and relate to safety. Not only does the IIF approach lead to a safer workplace, it leads to a healthier, more productive workforce with stronger relationships up and down the organization.
