Hacer de la hidratación algo emocionante no es algo sencillo, pero O'Shea Squalls, un conductor de UPS de Dallas, encontró una forma única de hacer justamente eso. He shows up every day to share a message centered on safety during hot weather – hint: it starts with H and ends in 2O.
The importance of hydration: A message that’s clear as a glass of water
“Mantenerse hidratado es algo que comienza en casa. Hidratarse, hidratarse, hidratarse”, dice O’Shea. “El motivo por el que ponemos tanto énfasis en la hidratación es que queremos que todos los empleados regresen a casa sin haber corrido ningún riesgo”.
His message reinforces that hydration starts with making it personal; it's a lifestyle choice that begins the moment you wake up.
Rock and roll rehydration
O’Shea uses a mix of old school and new music to set the tone for a positive, safety-focused shift. He shares safety messages while letting the music promote good vibes and conversations. His approach proves that simple actions can build trust and have the most significant impact.
O’Shea reconoce la poderosa función que el compromiso tiene en gatillar acciones en las personas. “No es solo un repertorio de música el que yo toco”, él comparte, destacando la diversidad de su grupo. “Tocar varios temas ayuda a que todos se conecten con nuestro mensaje de seguridad”.
De esta manera, O’Shea emplea efectivamente la inclusividad para asegurarse de que sus mensajes de hidratación y protección hagan eco en todos.
UPS driving the news
See for yourself the impact O’Shea is having on his team in this exclusive broadcast from CBS Texas. Did you know: UPS partnered with MISSION, a major activewear company that specializes in cooling fabrics, to provide cooling sleeves and hats – that when wet – that stay up to 30 degrees cooler than the wearer’s body temperature for up to two hours. This gear was featured on NBC’s Today Show during a segment on summer must-haves.
