LEGITIMIZING THE STABILITY OF HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAMS TOWARDS PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE

Abstract

This study analyzed the relationship between workplace health and safety variables including hazard environment, occupational health and safety, mental health awareness, engagement and support, policies and procedures, and productivity performance measures in terms of customer service and quality of work. The organizations analyzed were LGU and PAF. Data revealed that LGU generally performed better in the aforementioned variables, as indicated by higher mean scores and verbal descriptions (VD). However, statistical analysis failed to find a significant correlation between these health and safety variables and productivity performance for either LGU or PAF. The findings suggest that other variables may be at play in determining productivity, and future research should consider these additional factors and potentially re-evaluate the measurement of productivity. The importance of a healthy and supportive work environment, while not directly linked to productivity in this analysis, is underscored in terms of its contribution to employee wellbeing and job satisfaction.
