A comprehensive evaluation of the employee emergency plan for KI, Green Bay

Abstract

The effectiveness of implementation levels within the workplace establishes the validity and the support for programs by the work force. By focusing on the technique of introduction, as well as the retention of the given information to the intended recipients, businesses can better promote their messages and or plans to the workforce. From an implementation and employee information retention standpoint, it is believed by this researcher that the Employee Emergency Plan is one such plan whose need for accuracy is crucial to the survival of the workforce in the event of an emergency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation training and retention of the workforce for the employee emergency plan at the Green Bay, KI location. In the summer of 2001, KI implemented a new employee emergency plan. This program laid the foundation for emergency response and actions at KI and contained the minimum requirements for compliance for the regulations enforced by OSHA. A survey was designed to collect responses relating to the information presented during the employee emergency plan training sessions. The desired number of participants from the workforce that week was targeted. The employees were approached while conducting routine work tasks and were asked to for a few minutes of their time to answer a couple of general questions relating to the information supplied during the training of the employee emergency plan. The data collected from the employee emergency plan survey was statistically analyzed by using the Chi-Square Test. The data was analyzed between several different factors. Every answer was analyzed against all data supplied for that particular question. After the results were compiled, each question was broken down by number of participants, gender, and shift.
