Reformed Approach to Employee Health and Safety Program Improves Employee Productivity in Indonesia

Abstract

Employee productivity is significant because it affects product sales, profits, and company income, ultimately impacting the company's welfare and existence. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the employee health and safety program at the State Electricity Company in Indonesia. Specifically, this study assessed employee productivity, determined whether the success of the employee health and safety program affects employee productivity, and established how much influence it has. The study employed a quantitative research method, with 63 employees selected as respondents. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and explanatory techniques to determine the effects between variables, employing a simple regression approach with the help of SPSS version 20. The results indicated that the implementation of the employee health and safety program was exemplary, employee productivity was good, and the successful implementation of the employee health and safety program affects employee productivity. The effect was 0.136 or 13.65%. The top three attributes affecting productivity for management factors were planning and scheduling, material availability, and material storage areas. An effect size of 13.65% is considered reasonable. The findings of this research can be used as a benchmark for other companies with regard to maximizing employee productivity.
