Introduction

Many organisational decisions, as well as manager and employee behaviour, impact on the Health, Safety and Wellbeing of personnel who work in our organisations.  Much of the time organisational personnel are  unaware of the Health, Safety or Wellbeing impact. It is the role of the Safety Professional to influence Managers and Employees so they:

  • Are aware of the impact their decisions and behaviour has on people in our organisations
  • Do consider Health, Safety and Wellbeing in their decisions
  • Do change behaviour to achieve a positive impact on personnel within our organisations.

This challenging workshop is designed to;

  • Expand your thinking of the extent of your “Circle of influence” to take a holistic view of safety in your organisation
  • Develop your influencing competency
  • Develop influencing strategies to use in response to key reasons why people behave the way they do. e.g. in change and conflict.
