For some reason, though, companies expect their employees to be actively engaged in safety while doing work that they are not actively engaged in. Employees are disengaged from company goals. Research by a team at Franklin Covey revealed the stunning extent of employee disengagement: 15 percent of the employee respondents in one international survey “co...
