Safety vs Wellbeing Programs – How to Boost Employee Engagement

Presented by Greg Stark, Founder and Director of Better Being

What’s covered?

According to Maslow, there are four fundamental foundations that we must achieve before realising our potential: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, and esteem. Often organisations skip straight to ‘safety’ to address employee wellbeing, however physiological needs form the basis of our health. Sleep, mindset, nutrition, and movement must be considered.

In this webinar, the Director of Better Being, Greg Stark, will explore these foundations and help you identify best practice for your business. 

• Understanding how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs fits into the employee experience 
• Steps to determine what wellbeing programs to implement 
• Strategies to support the physiological wellbeing of employees

A case for operational learning

Presented By Becky Picton, Human Factors and HOP Facilitator, Southpac

What’s covered?

Operational Learning is a Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) based technique of learning from those closest to the work to gain operational intelligence.

During this session we will introduce operational learning, what it is, what it isn’t and how it can be used across industry as a proactive means to learn and improve before negative events occur, improving both work and safety performance.

The Power of Deep Listening

What difference would it make if Safety leaders and professionals changed the way they
listened?

Did you know that …..

1. Most of us have an 8 second attention span (BTW our attention span is 1% lower
   than a gold fish!)
2. 85% of what we learn is from listening
3. 75% of the time we are distracted or pre-occupied
4. One hour after listening we recall 20% of what we heard
5. The average person listens at 25% efficiency

Listening is such an underrated skill. When we are at school we are taught to read and write but not actually how to listen.

In this interactive session you will experience what it is like to truly be listened to and the impact it has on you. Listening as a Safety Leader and Professional is one of the most critical and crucial skills you can demonstrate if you are to do your job well. People will more likely trust you and open up and be vulnerable around what is really happening – particularly around safety.

Come along to this session to practice deep listening and to hear some simple tips on how you can be even better listener to improve your effectiveness in your role and the
relationships you have inside and outside of work.

Our top 5 tips for risk assessments

Presented by Mark Alston

What’s covered?

Organisations often struggle to achieve meaningful outcomes from risk assessment workshops. In this webinar, Mark Alston shares five practical tips for improving risk assessment workshop outcomes and delivering controls that reduce risk.

• Change the focus of risk assessments: Rather than simply justifying a decision that has already been made, use risk assessments to identify uncertainty and unknowns.
• Include the discovery of normal work: In addition to identifying potential risks, it’s important to understand the context of work and the risks that come with it.
• Develop risk scenarios that focus on the credible.
• Push the boundaries of controls.
• Ditch the Excel spreadsheets and other risk assessment tools.

Measurement that enables safety capacity

Presented by Kelvin Genn, CEO, Art of Work

What’s covered?

Safety is a function of work capacity, not the absence of the measurement of absence or counting of transactions. New measurement tools have been developed to provide a metric for Boards and Executives of organisations to understand the presence of safety capacity in their organisation by collecting and reporting on the state of operational capacity through enabling those that do the work.

These measures examine the extent of capacity building activities being undertaken in terms of reflecting on the investment the organisation has built up in the skills and capability of workers over and above the minimum competencies for their work. Capacity measures provide an index on the extent of resourcing for enablers of safety. Capacity measures are the high-water mark of the legislative obligations placed on officers to meet due diligence obligations that derive from workplace health and safety laws in jurisdictions such as Australia and New Zealand.

Safety Capacity is informed by an approach to health and safety that looks to build the health and safety capacity and resilience of an organisation, founded on engagement and trust with workers.

Positive Safety - Shifting the focus from compliance to culture

Presented by Anthony Gibbs, CEO, Sentis

What’s covered?

What does safety look like in your organisation? Is safety looked at as a cost or as an opportunity? Are employees seen as the problem or the solution?

It’s easy to fall prey to the idea that safety takes too long, costs too much or just gets in the way of getting the job done. But what if we looked at safety as a form of currency that we can use to invest in the things that matter most?

Join Sentis CEO Anthony Gibbs as we flip the traditional safety narrative on its head and create a space where people share a values driven desire to do great work in which quality and safety are paramount, and people are intrinsically motivated to invest in the safety and wellbeing of themselves and others.

Throughout this webinar we will discuss:

• the definition of Positive Safety,
• using safety as an anchor for cultural change
• what a positive safety culture looks like, and
• how you can start implementing a Positive Safety culture in your organisation

Verification of Competency (VoC)

On average, plant & equipment account for 71% of mechanisms related to worker fatalities².   A Verification of Competency or VOC is a method of assessment which typically ensures that workers operating plant, equipment and other tools on work sites remain competent to do so – to keep themselves, others safe and solvent.

This webinar provides a risk-based approach to establish a VOC program that not only meets legal requirements, but also enables effective risk controls and a high-performance culture.

Learning Objectives

• Understand your legal obligations for VoC, including operator competency vs assessor competency
• Understand how to demonstrate due diligence and minimise risk of personal liability – facts vs myths!
• List options for taking a risk-based approach for establishing VoC safe systems of work
• Gain an understanding of leadership principles and methods of building a high-performance culture.
