Global Safety Week at JLL

Our firm-wide commitment to safety and well-being is core to JLL’s purpose of shaping the future of real estate for a better world. As part of this effort, JLL facilitates an annual Global Health and Safety Week. This year’s Global Health and Safety Week commenced on Monday, September 21 and ran through Friday, September 25.

During Global Health and Safety Week, Mick Moore, JLL’s Executive Director, Environmental, Health and Safety, hosted activities each day that sparked conversations, promoted safe behaviors, reinforced safety standards, engaged employees and contractors around the business and provided time to recognize those who go above and beyond to promote safety at JLL. Activities included webinars with leaders and health and safety experts, online quizzes and surveys and discussion forums to promote ongoing dialogue.

This year’s theme of ‘One team S.A.F.E.R. together’ was developed from the findings of a 2019 survey of JLL employees, clients and contractors, which found that most accidents are the result of unsafe behaviors, rather than work environment.

During the week, JLL employees were taught that these unsafe behaviors can often be prevented by: 

?           Speaking about safety

?           Acting safely, always

?           Focusing on standards

?           Engaging others

?           Recognizing excellence

The theme of ‘One team S.A.F.E.R together.’ is about embedding safety into everything we do at JLL, on or off the job. It is a fundamental part of the responsibility all JLL employees and contractors share in looking after our colleagues, clients and the wider communities in which we live and work. The annual Global Health and Safety Week is an important part of shaping JLL’s commitment to safety.
