3. CREATING AN ENGAGED WORKFORCE
The survey is being conducted to improve Workforce Engagement at this worksite.
Workforce engagement is the active participation of everyone in the workforce in the management and improvement of safety. When engaged, workers feel as able as managers to improve safety where they work. Workforce Engagement therefore means we all participate in and challenge how safety is managed here.
As the image shows, Workforce Engagement is created within a cycle. It doesn’t just happen overnight.

4. DEVELOPING WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT IN SAFETY IS A JOURNEY
Workforce disengaged with the safety effort

Level 2
Despite great improvements in the safety performance of the Oil & Gas Industry have been made over the last 20 years, a fully engaged workforce is not yet the norm in our industry. It is one of the most effective active barriers against incidents and accidents for an organisation to have, which is why we are focussing on it now.
Like any improvement in our industry, developing workforce engagement takes time. We – look other sites – are already some way along this journey. The Workforce Engagement Survey will help us understand exactly where we are.
Level 1

5. HOW WE WILL IMPROVE WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT
Workforce Engagement increases when more positive engagement behaviours are performed and obstacles to engagement are removed.
When engaged, all workers feel as able as managers to improve safety where they work. Everyone participates in and challenges how safety is managed.

6. THE WORKORCE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY WILL HELP US UNDERSTAND BEHAVIOURS AND OBSTACLES HERE
The Workforce Engagement Survey therefore asks about your views of a range of behaviours and obstacles – to ensure we share a clear understanding of these.
The survey does NOT ask about everything to do with safety – it is only focussed on those things which are known to impact on Workforce Engagement. It is an industry standard survey, meaning that all Step Change in Safety members will participate in it and the data is analysed by Step Change in Safety. It is not a company survey.
