A Psychologist's Perspective on Safety Leadership: How to Motivate Safety Behaviors in Four Simple Steps
Presentation by Ted Boyce, Ph.D.

Thomas E. (Ted) Boyce received his doctorate in applied experimental psychology from Virginia Tech under the direction of E. Scott Geller. He served with distinction as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada-Reno from 1999-2004, where he founded the Center for Behavioral Safety Research. He is currently President and Senior Consultant with the Center for Behavioral Safety, LLC and remains a Faculty Associate in the Department of Psychology and College of Business Administration at the University of Nevada.

Dr. Boyce has 15 years of experience in the design, implementation, and delivery of behavior-based safety (BBS) improvement processes. His work has included behavior-focused safety assessments; training of management, supervisors, and employees; customizing training packages and implementation plans; organizing and coaching BBS steering teams; training in-house trainers; and assisting clients in the development and use of sensitive upstream measures of organizational performance. Dr. Boyce’s Evidence-Based LeadershipTM process is quickly becoming the gold standard for defining leadership, maximizing leader effectiveness, and optimizing employee performance.

Dr. Boyce is an award-winning lecturer, entertaining public speaker, and acknowledged expert in the application of behavioral science to prevent injuries and improve employee performance.
