If you’re a manager who’s been asked to – or simply wants to! – ‘do better at safety’ this training gives you a model with a few, well-selected activities to do in a cycle – so after the first ‘round’ you can repeat them to continuously support a stronger safety culture.
Which manager wouldn’t like to have a workplace where people don’t get hurt? – and with all the other benefits that follow that – like a better working environment and a culture where people feel safe to speak up and discuss how to do the work both efficiently and safely.
You can ask safety professionals for help, but as a manager you need to do your part and drive the change, as with all other changes. But what exactly is it you should do?
This training gives you knowledge and language to do your part of the safety work – you’ll know what to do, and you’ll want to do it.
In the training the trainers transfer their experience in applying the Hearts & Minds tools at strategic level and share their supplementary activities for managers.
Content:
- Calibrating perceptions – Before trying to engage anyone else, you need to understand your own perceptions and beliefs on safety.
- What is the problem? – Drill into the core of the safety-problem you want to solve, the more detailed the better.
- Understanding your culture – Most managers think you’re better at safety (personally and in the team) than you really are. How good are you really?
- The Good Intention – Talk about incidents in a new way! You’ll get to understand the organisational and leadership factors that influenced human behavior and the course of events. And you can use incidents to show-case what a proactive culture feels, looks and sounds like.
Target audience:
This training is for managers. It’s an option that your safety professional takes the training with you, so that you can learn together and share methods and language – this will make it easier for you to implement what you learned, when you get back to work.
You’ll get:
- Knowledge and language to talk about safety, from a strategic perspective.
- A structure of activities that only you as a manager can do to support a strong(er) safety culture.
- Tools that will have immediate positive impact on safety – and also result in better business.
- After the first round, you can repeat the same activities – starting from a higher level – which will give you different results and sustain the momentum for continuous improvement.
