September Chapter Meeting

Tim Page-Bottorff wants you to know that safety doesn’t have to be boring. The best way to increase
employee engagement is through humor. Stories are the best way to get started. He suggests
injecting funny stories, videos and images into safety conversations, training and meetings to
increase employee engagement and retention.
Tim will prepare attendees to find the fun in safety by avoiding all the negativity behind it.  Safety is a
topic most employees are not fond of. Simple because safety is usually enforced or “forced.” Tim will
discuss how complacency causes employees to force decisions in addition to organizations also
forcing decisions which employees are the target of.  Humor can bring not just employees and
management together, but bring people together.
Incorporating the most important things in our messages often serves as building a bridge between
people.  Tim will show what’s important to him and give a glimpse at how we can achieve a better
work-life balance.
There will be messages of laughter, despair, and ultimately an everlasting message of safety doesn’t
have to be boring.  Sweeping the emotion in safety brings hearts and minds together.
