Utilize agencies that pre-screen applications for employers; the applicants have to complete a series of surveys that help identify a psychological pattern of the applicant through the series of questions, which in turn help the employer decide whether they should move further in the process or whether they should be rejected. LearnInMotion’s screening procedure should also continue onto the interview stage of the hiring process. At this stage the applicant is presented with a series of scenarios and according to their responses the screening committee or (HR) have a better understanding of how these applicants would react under stressful situations. With existing employees LearnInMotion a different approach is required because the employees are subject to conditions within the workplace. LIM should administer periodical evaluations to their employees; it would help them to respond to and possibly eliminate the possibility of any serious consequence from the stress-prone or accident-prone employees before they occur.

The committee solicits employee suggestions and participation to increase compliance to company policies. It also develops various safety programs to promote employee wellness to improve their quality of life (Gomez-Mejia, et al, 2010).

When the employees increase their knowledge in an area, they have been empowered to produce. “In some respects, the potential of 21st century skills lies in the exploration of how digital tools (cameras, presentation software, computing equipment) and online resources can support and enhance traditional subjects, skills and teaching practices.” (Verizon, 2009).
Any information, instruction, training and supervision needed to make sure that all workers are safe from injury and risks to their health
