Explanation / Answer

In this case, workplace safety has increased and a culture has been put in place that will value as well as reward workplace safety. Now, safety in the workplace has a direct bearing on employee morale. Higher safety and lower injuries will make the employees happy and confident as they are able to go home to their families every night. They are also able to work more confidently in a secured and safe work environment. This will increase the morale of the employees leading to lower absenteeism and also lower staff turnover.

Thus the answer is "a reduction of turnover among employees".
