  • Initial diagnostic questionnaire on your safety and health leadership behaviours
  • Personalised report based on your responses, including recommendations on actions to take and improvements to make

  • Assessment is completion of a personal commitment – a set of actions to take following the recommendations in your report and other learning

How the course delivery style suits you

  • Short duration so as not to disrupt the busy schedule of CEOs, MDs, senior managers, directors and executives
  • Only five hours face-to-face learning,
  • Examples chosen to suit your needs and industry

Assessment

Learners use the diagnostic tool, accessed via a mobile app, to identify their current safety and health position against a set of critical questions. The tool recommends the actions they should take. At the end of the course they make a commitment to a personal action plan to improve their own and their organisations’ safety and health management.
