Engaging a distributed workforce Keeping safety connected

MORRISTOWN, NJ, May 28, 2026 – As workforces become more distributed, maintaining strong safety practices requires consistent communication and connection. A recent Safety + Health Magazine feature highlights how organizations are using a mix of in-person outreach and digital tools to keep employees informed, aligned, and working safely across locations.

For Scott Johnson, SVP Quality & Safety and FQE HUB Lead at Schindler, visibility plays a critical role in reinforcing safety standards across dispersed teams:

If we’re not out there and can’t see that they’re doing it right or wrong, we don’t know if they missed a training piece or we didn’t train properly.

As the workforce evolves, staying connected helps ensure safety remains a shared responsibility, no matter where work happens.
