Continuous Safety Improvement and Commitment

Spherion’s commitment to workplace safety goes beyond minimum compliance. Nationwide, we employ 25 safety managers who work with our franchise owners in a safety consulting role. These managers visit Spherion worksites to observe working conditions and ensure all applicable safety regulations are followed and that employees have completed all necessary safety training and feel confident about their personal safety on the job. Additionally, Spherion’s safety managers stay abreast of new safety-related regulations and recommended practices to advise clients about better ways to protect employees.

Over the years, the Frassinellis’ worksite evaluation process has continuously evolved and improved. “We firmly believe that every individual deserves a safe and secure workplace,” Sara explained. “Consequently, we prioritize the safety of our employees and refuse to engage with clients where safety concerns persist, regardless of the potential business opportunity.”

Tangible Results and Lasting Benefits

Focusing on workplace safety has yielded significant results for Spherion. “We have witnessed a remarkable year-over-year reduction in the total number of claims filed by our employees. Our light industrial incident frequency declined from 9.61 in 2021 to 4.08 in 2022,” Sara said. “This reduction directly translates into a decrease in the costs associated with injuries per incident. And, we achieved this reduction in accidents while growing business by more than 10% to 441,000 hours of light industrial payroll last year. By investing in safety measures and fostering a culture of prevention, we have not only protected lives but also improved our bottom line.”

Moreover, our emphasis on workplace safety has profoundly impacted employee and client satisfaction. When employees feel safe and valued, their job satisfaction increases, leading to higher retention rates. Similarly, clients appreciate our commitment to their workforce's well-being, resulting in stronger and more long-lasting partnerships.
