CABS-ACSB FREE Webinar - Health & Safety Motivational Framework: Balancing consequence management with reward and recognition to build a fair safety culture

Please join us on November 10, 2026 for the next webinar available to CABS-ACSB Members as part of our webinar series!

The topic Health & Safety Motivational Framework: Balancing consequence management with reward and recognition to build a fair safety culture will be presented by Becky McGirr, Sanofi.

This talk presents the idea of a motivational framework that can be used to strengthen an organization’s safety culture. The goal is to have an interdependent safety culture — one where every employee takes responsibility for their own safety and that of their colleagues.

A key pillar of a robust safety culture is establishing a fair safety culture that balances recognition of positive behaviors with consistent consequence management for safety rule deviations. While accident investigations must always prioritize root cause analysis — with individual blame as a last resort — human behavior can and does contribute to safety incidents. In such cases, a fair, impartial, and structured process is essential.

To support this approach, a comprehensive Health, Safety, and Environment Consequences Management Framework will be shown, one that was created in collaboration with and endorsed by HSE and HR. This framework provides a structured consequence management model and disciplinary guideline to support consistent investigation outcomes and fair treatment of all employees.

Complementing this framework, a Reward and Recognition program will be shared, with the goal to promote and celebrate positive safety behaviors — ensuring our culture reinforces what good looks like, not only what to avoid.
