Thinking Differently About Safety

Welcome to another episode of the Safer Vacation Rentals' podcast. I'm your host, Eric Thibodeaux.

Today I want to talk about how we can reframe our thoughts and our perspectives on safety. Safety is not the absence of incidents—it's a positive state in its own right. Safety is about thinking about how we approach this issue. We need to start rethinking about safety and being proactive and safe. And it all starts with how we begin to rethink and think differently about safety.

How are we approaching this here?

We can start by being proactive, thinking about ways we can make our business safer for everyone involved. We can also take a step back and consider what we can do differently in order to help minimize incidents or prevent them altogether.

Safety isn't just about what happens when things go wrong—it's about how you approach it from the get-go, whether that's with your team or your guests.. It all starts with how you view safety and what role it plays in your vacation rental business.

I believe that whether it's life or business, if you don't get the results you want or the lesson you need from something, then there's something wrong with your perspective or approach. So stop thinking about safety as a cost and start thinking about it as capital. We need to stop thinking about safety as control. We need to basically think about the people that work for us, our teams, resources, to harness and develop and get insight from.

Listen to the rest of the episode now to know more about safety from a different perspective.
