CEO's Early Morning Lessons: Safety & Inclusion
Update: 2026-01-03
Description
Jim Fish, CEO of Waste Management, emphasizes the importance of early morning safety briefings, a habit he adopted from his father-in-law. These meetings have shaped his understanding of the business and helped him connect with frontline workers. Fish has learned that success isnt just about financials, and the company now prioritizes safety. Last year, they reduced overall injuries by 5.8% and lost-time injuries by 2.4%. Fishs hands-on approach, such as joining drivers in harsh winter conditions, has provided valuable insights. He also highlights the impact of promoting a bilingual driver to manager, which improved safety and morale in a district with many Spanish speakers. Fish believes that understanding field workers is crucial for Waste Managements success, as everyone, regardless of their role, matters equally. Checkout Solipillow.com
