Beyond Compliance: How Verstela is Building a Safety Culture That Scales

See how Risk & Safety Specialist, Michaela Moren, transformed Verstela's approach to safety, turning data into dialogue and empowering every team member to become a safety partner.

A Parter in Safety, From Day One

For a rapidly growing staffing leader like Verstela, safety isn't just a policy—it's a promise to their 5,000+ employees and clients. At the heart of this promise is Michaela Moren, Verstela's Risk & Safety Specialist, who has been part of a cultural shift toward proactive, collaborative risk management. It’s a story about building a system of shared responsibility from the ground up

The Solution: Creating a Network of Safety Champions

A true safety culture thrives when everyone is engaged. Verstela’s strategy began with empowering their branch managers and on-site supervisors, making them active partners in the safety process. By providing accessible tools like the Aclaimant mobile app, risk management became immediate, collaborative, and thorough.

• Automated Playbooks: Reporting was digitized and centralized. Branch managers and even on-site supervisors could now use the Aclaimant mobile app to report directly from the field, complete with photo and videos.
  
  
• One System for Everything: Aclaimant became the single source of truth for managing risk. The specialist now spends her day in the platform, seamlessly moving from reviewing and making edits to submitting documentation to partners.
  
  
• Actionable Insights on Demand: With all data in one place, the team could instantly filter to see trends. This allowed for data-driven conversations about risk management and safety!
  
  
• Empowering the Team: The platform streamlined the training process for all the new branches from the acquisition. It made the workflow "easier and quicker" by allowing branches to upload directly, freeing up the Risk and Safety Specialist to focus on management and strategic risk mitigation.
  
  

The Result: A Proactive and Scalable Safety Culture

By partnering with Aclaimant, Verstela has transformed its approach to risk and is seeing significant results:

• Data-Driven Safety Conversations: The specialist now conducts quarterly presentations for area directors, using Aclaimant data to highlight the top recurring trends and improvement opportunities. This leads to direct action, such as updating orientations and improving on-site safety protocols.
  
  
• Faster, More Effective Response: Branch managers have become fantastic partners in safety. When a trend is identified, they proactively update procedures and safety plans, often having solutions ready before a formal meeting is even scheduled.
  
  
• A Foundation for Future Growth: With Aclaimant at the center of their risk program, Verstela is confident in its ability to continue expanding into new states and markets while maintaining a strong safety culture and controlling costs.
  
  

Is It Time to Write Your Own Success Story?

Verstela's transformation through their explosive growth to proactively building a safer workforce is a powerful example of what's possible with the right partner. If their story of moving to a proactive data driven safety culture in system, not spreadsheets aligns with your companies vision, perhaps it's time to explore what your company's "after" could look like. A brief, personalized discussion is often the best way to see if turning your risk management program from a cost center into a strategic advantage is the right move for your team.
