Even the corners and the production line were spotless. It led him to this idea that a place to start with quality is with safety and housekeeping because it tells the employees that you care about them. It&#8217;s not a bottom line thing, it&#8217;s about them, right?<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;And so he mentioned this a couple of times, that if you were trying to start a transformation, start with safety and housekeeping. You know, make everything spotless. Maybe that&#8217;ll tell people things that you want them to know about how much you care about them, and then they&#8217;ll get involved in Quality to start working on other things.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;So let&#8217;s create a hassle-free planet, hassle-free healthcare.
