Gary’s Safety Tips

G’day everyone, it’s great to be here today to talk about one of the most important aspects of running a successful business – training employees on the statement.

Now, some of you might be wondering, what exactly is the statement? Well, the statement is the core mission of your business, the reason why you do what you do, and the guiding principle that drives every decision you make. It’s the foundation of your brand, and it’s what sets you apart from your competitors.

So, why is it so important to train your employees on the statement? Well, for starters, your employees are the face of your business. They are the ones who interact with your customers on a daily basis, and they are the ones who can make or break your brand. If your employees don’t understand the statement or aren’t aligned with it, they won’t be able to effectively represent your brand, and your customers will be able to tell.

On the other hand, if your employees are fully trained on the statement and are passionate about it, they will be able to communicate it effectively to your customers, and they will be able to provide a level of service that sets you apart from your competitors.

So, how do you train your employees on the statement? Well, the first step is to make sure that they understand it. You need to communicate the statement clearly and effectively, and you need to make sure that your employees understand the meaning behind it.

Once your employees understand the statement, the next step is to make sure that they are aligned with it. You need to make sure that your employees share your passion for the statement and that they are committed to delivering on it every day.

One of the best ways to get your employees aligned with the statement is to involve them in the development process. Ask for their input and feedback, and make sure that they feel like they are a part of the statement. When your employees feel like they have a stake in the statement, they will be much more likely to be passionate about it and to deliver on it every day.

Another important aspect of training your employees on the statement is to make sure that it is integrated into every aspect of your business. Your employees should see the statement everywhere they look, from the website to the employee handbook to the company signage. This will reinforce the importance of the statement and will help to keep it top of mind for your employees.

It’s also important to provide ongoing training and support to your employees. Make sure that they have the resources and tools they need to deliver on the statement, and make sure that they are given feedback on a regular basis. Celebrate wins and recognise when employees go above and beyond to deliver on the statement.

Finally, it’s important to lead by example. As the leader of your business, you need to be passionate about the statement and you need to demonstrate that passion every day. Your employees will look to you as an example, and if they see that you are fully committed to the statement, they will be much more likely to be as well.

In conclusion, training your employees on the statement is absolutely critical if you want to run a successful business. By making sure that your employees understand the statement, are aligned with it, and are fully supported in delivering on it, you can create a team that is passionate about your brand and that is committed to delivering a level of service that sets you apart from your competitors. So, take the time to train your employees on the statement, and watch your business thrive!
