Overview

Occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals have been tackling the subject of how to best measure performance for many years. Recently, though, there has been an uptick in the discussion about leading vs lagging indicators and their proper role in the process.

OSH professionals are trying to determine how they can create indicators that effectively measure their organization’s performance and are concluding that it isn’t as simple as lagging versus leading – they both have a role to play. The important goal is learning to appreciate the value of both types of indicators and how to develop ones that are meaningful to their organization.

This webcast explores the role of indicators in performance measurement and provides critical information to help participants better understand how to use indicators to create a process that integrates safety performance with business goals and operations.

During this webinar, we’ll discuss:

  • The inherent characteristics of performance indicators, both leading and lagging
  • How safety indicators are connected to safety performance management
  • How safety indicators are connected with an organization’s overall performance management
  • Creating effective leading and lagging indicators that are applicable to their organization and integrated into business process and operation
