Creating the business case for GSI should provide the impetus for others to get behind the implementation process. It should be concise, hard-hitting, visual, nearly irrefutable, and should communicate the value of the outcomes of the implementation of GSI at all levels of the organisation. Ensure that you describe the problem that is being solved and respond to the specific business need for each identified area/level of the organisation.
Depending on the audience this may include, with differing emphasis:
- supporting the espoused value and primacy of safety
- enhanced personal safety
- enhanced productivity through increased operational efficiencies
- enhanced financial benefits / ROI (reduced legal, compensation, insurance premiums, etc.)
- enhanced Employer of Choice
- enhanced employee engagement
- enhanced external reputation, e.g. winning more tenders
