Safety culture change is not simple: it involves people’s values and beliefs, guiding their behavior, and developing and maintaining robust, effective safety management systems. As such, it’s a major challenge that takes a great deal of time and hard work from everyone involved.
Employee Involvement & Ownership
To achieve a world-class safety culture, it is vital to develop a safety partnership between your company's leadership and employees. This relies on input from hourly employees and staff to harness their ownership of, and commitment to, the execution of your cultural change strategy. Given their intimate knowledge of the effectiveness of your current safety improvement efforts, involving them in the planning of the change strategy is the best way to do this.
Focus Group Workshops
Laying a solid foundation for cultural change, our one-day 'Cultural Change Planning' workshops provide a structured interactive method for discovering your current safety culture. To help your people design the appropriate way forward, your staff examine your organizations values, beliefs and assumptions about safety, your safety routines and safety structures to discover ‘What is’ and ‘What could be’. Because the subsequent action plans developed from a 'gap analysis' are owned by your people, the likelihood of successful change management is that much greater.
Next Steps
Putting everything together, we provide your company with a written report to facilitate the execution of your safety culture change plans.
