Through her expertise in analytics, she demonstrates how a 10-point increase in employee engagement can lead to a remarkable 40% decrease in safety incidents, showcasing the powerful connection between employee well-being and business success.
Furthermore, Krystal highlights the importance of leadership support in implementing such initiatives. She shares how the ability to translate the positive results into tangible savings and potential gains made an undeniable impact on the support received from the C-suite.
