EP 766 - The Foundation of Safety: Principles, Values, and the Cog of Change
In this repurposed main story from The Rated R Safety Show, Dr. Jay Allen explores why principles and values must serve as the true foundation of every decision inside your organization. When safety becomes about compliance instead of care, or optics instead of meaning, culture shifts stall before they start. Jay challenges listeners to rethink how they introduce change—adding to the wheel instead of tearing down the base—and reminds us that even long-standing values can (and should) evolve.🎧 Tune in to Safety FM with Jay Allen for this reflective conversation on alignment, consistency, and the human side of organizational change.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
