Safety In The Workplace: Using Behavioral Analysis to Enhance Safety Culture
Safety in the workplace is not merely a compliance requirement but an integral part of operational excellence. A robust safety culture minimizes risk and significantly reduces the incidence of workplace accidents. At its core, this culture reflects the collective commitment of an organization to prioritize safety above all else. The key to fortifying this commitment lies in understanding how human performance and behavior contribute to safety outcomes.
Safety In The Workplace: How To Correct Safety Culture Without Losing Morale
When we talk about developing a strong safety culture, we’re looking at the heart of both employee well-being and the overall success of any organization. This culture is the collective mindset that places safety as a non-negotiable pillar, impacting everything from daily operations to long-term business resilience. The challenge? It’s maintaining this culture without dimming the spark of team morale.
Safety In The Workplace: Top 10 Reasons Why Experienced Team Members Leave
Employee retention is crucial for maintaining a safe and productive work environment, especially when it comes to experienced team members. Their departure can cause significant disruptions to safety procedures and overall business operations. Experienced team members possess valuable knowledge and skills that contribute to efficiency and safety in the workplace. When they leave, this expertise is lost, potentially creating gaps that could impact both productivity and safety standards.
Mindfulness for Men: Simple Practices for Better Mental Health
Mental health is an essential part of our overall well-being, but it’s often overlooked or ignored, especially by men. The societal pressure to be stoic and unemotional can make it challenging for men to talk about their struggles and seek help. However, mindfulness practices can help men improve their mental health and well-being. Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, without judgment. It’s a way to slow down and tune in to your thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
How To Accept an Apology You Were Never Given
Home / Featured Content / How To Accept an Apology You Were Never Given Some apologies never come. If you expect an apology from someone, sometimes not getting that apology makes it difficult to move on. Expecting an apology that never comes can create doubt and make you feel invalidated. You can validate yourself through your own acceptance. Why Forgive? Maybe it feels easier to hold a grudge. Some grudges might feel great to keep in the place of someone who has wronged you.
Your Handmaid Outfit Is Performative and Racist
If you have never read Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, you may likely not know how it erased people of color from the conversation. The television series attempted to make amends, but the premise stayed very much the same. In the novel, handmaids, who were white women, were treated as slaves and black women disappeared. This left room for white women to utilize the novel as a backbone for performative activism.
How I Learned About Fear
Somewhere buried deep in the miasma that was childhood, there is a memory that lingers sweetly, classified as a mother’s comfort. Ultimately it is a first, and most vivid, the memory of fear. The age is fuzzy. Maybe 4? Footed pajamas protested the chill of the house, the windows open to the weather outside. I recall the rumbling noise of a storm. The feeling before a storm is electric, after enough fear in your life, that electric feeling can be cathartic, warm, even enticing.
How To Be a Male Ally
Home / Featured Content / How To Be a Male Ally The Texas abortion ban is a hot-button topic in the United States. The conversation can also be heard around the world. On a subject that is so personal and so complicated, it is important to show respect, lend a platform, and have real conversations. Most importantly, men should be just as concerned about the health, well-being, and stability of women.

How I Learned About Fear
A short story about my first storm and building systems of support and comfort. Somewhere buried deep in the miasma that was childhood, there is a memory that lingers sweetly, classified as a mother’s comfort. Ultimately it is a first, and most vivid, the memory of fear. The age is fuzzy. Maybe 4? Footed pajamas protested the chill of the house, the windows open to the weather outside. I recall the rumbling noise of a storm.
The Texas Abortion Law, The Loopholes and Escaping Gilead
It isn’t coat hangers, I promise. In case you don’t possess a uterus, let me explain why SB8 is a dumpster fire. The SCOTUS, overnight, elected to do absolutely nothing to stop this law from going into effect. Inaction speaks volumes about the SCOTUS’ willingness to interfere with unconstitutional pieces of legislation. SB8 bans abortions after fetal heartbeats are detected unless there is a medical emergency (more on that later).
Lest We Forget: Marilyn Manson, Narcissism and Misogyny
Home / Featured Content / Lest We Forget: Marilyn Manson, Narcissism and Misogyny I’m not putting his picture in this article, there are women in this world who are terrified and traumatized. Look him up if you want to see his face. Sometimes a narcissist will reveal who they are in plain sight. Marilyn Manson (born Brian Warner) is no exception.
Popular TikToker Cancelled over Alleged Support for Conversion Therapy

Conversion therapy is the controversial practice of attempting to change one’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and is outlawed for minors in 20 U.S. states.
Conversion Torture: The Long-Term Effects of Childhood Trauma and Erasing Identity - The Good Men Project
Home / Featured Content / Conversion Torture: The Long-Term Effects of Childhood Trauma and Erasing Identity Conversion therapy has long been a controversial topic in the LGBTQIA community, in religious communities, in politics, and in culture. Calling it therapy is disingenuous — it is torture, make no mistake. This month, we celebrated coming out day, but we have also remembered what hate can do as we commemorate Matthew Shephard, who was savagely beaten and tortured for his sexuality in 1998.
How To Share: Kindergarten Rules in a Thruple
Nothing is more important than time. When you are splitting your time between 3 people instead of yourself or one other person, it is important to make time in different ways. Write notes, share emails, post pictures and share your daily activities. Stay connected in ways that make those connections choice. Your partner can click when they have time away from work or other responsibilities. Dunno how thruples did it before the internet. Carrier pigeons? Make time for one another a priority.

How to Share: Kindergarten Rules in a Thruple
Like most people, I grew up believing I would find the one, get married and live a blissful life until I died. Then I married a couple. Let’s just get this out of the way — I’m big gay. Super gay. A terminal lesbian. Secondly, I also have a platonic husband. You are probably confused, I mean honestly welcome to my baseline feeling. What I also have, however, is a wife who is everything. So how do we navigate this situation? This might seem obvious but you really have to talk.

We will never make true progress if we do not change the culture from the ground up. Changing oppression can only be done by eliminating it rather than responding to it — Photo by Miguel Bruna on Unsplash At some point or another, you have likely been exposed to some half-hearted analogy about pushing a boulder uphill or continually trying to change an outcome with the same actions and effort.
