MacLean-Fogg Company Safety Brand Initiative Recognized in Collaboration with DSS
WILMINGTON, DE, January 6, 2022 – DuPont Sustainable Solutions (DSS) today announced its MacLean-Fogg Safety Brand Initiative earned a Brandon Hall Excellence Bronze Award for “Best Advance in Social Impact Innovation.” DSS’ Safety Brand Initiative was deployed to the employees and leadership team at MacLean-Fogg Company to help develop a safety campaign to reach the heart of their workforce, improve their safety culture, and encourage everyone to work and get home safely.
DSS’ Safety Brand Initiative is a unique, one-of-a-kind approach to employee engagement that involves all levels of an organizations’ workforce to create a safety brand identity and communication campaign exclusive to the organization. DSS utilized its Safety Brand Initiative, specialized communications materials, and its “Virtual Theater” to design highly interactive, dynamic, and engaging workshops to affect the mindsets and behaviors of employees at MacLean-Fogg to inspire workplace safety.
“I am very proud of this incredible achievement in partnership with MacLean-Fogg,” said Alyson Brandt, Managing Director, Global Learning & Development at DSS. “The Virtual Theater is an interactive experience unlike any other in the learning and development marketplace, and this award is a testament to the functionality and advancements of our learning management tools at DSS to help our clients improve their safety of their people and operations.”
By implementing this multifaceted approach, DSS helped MacLean-Fogg develop a strategy that resonated with employees across the entire organization, including participation from top executives, to yield the most effective safety transformation within the organization. This unique collaboration helped build an effective communication campaign – For Us, For Family – to shift mindsets and encourage safe behaviors with the goal of impacting the workforce on an emotional level.
“Our commitment to safety is essential at MacLean-Fogg,” said Duncan MacLean, President and CEO of MacLean-Fogg. “For Us, For Family” is our philosophy – whether it’s in the office, on the shop floor, or in the field, our employees and customers are like family to us. No job or task is so urgent that we cannot do our work safely, and it’s important that we anchor our safety communications to this idea moving forward.”
Since the implementation of DSS’ Safety Brand Initiative, MacLean-Fogg has seen a number of improvements, most notably the practice of reciting the Safety Pledge at the beginning of every meeting and the visibility of the safety campaign throughout the organization – a critical part of employee engagement and culture enrichment.
“Our work with DSS on our safety brand was fantastic,” said Sarah Ferrett, Environmental Health and Safety Manager at MacLean-Fogg. “The workshops were innovative and so much different than any other virtual meetings I’ve attended. The safety brand is visible everywhere – around our sites and facilities and it has really become an important part of our culture. It ultimately reminds us why we all need to work safely.”
