In an age of highly competitive and often volatile markets, the role of safety leader is constantly evolving. The push to achieve more with less, while maintaining a social and ethical license to operate, places an increased expectation on leaders to get the most from their people in a safe and sustainable way. Throw in the added complexity of generational differences, an aging workforce, the need for total worker health, changing work environments and an organisation’s cultural maturity, and it becomes clear that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to leading for safety.
Safety leadership isn’t just about you as a leader, but also the person you are leading, their skills and willingness to engage, and the situation they find themselves in. So, how do leaders not only embrace, but also set themselves up for success in a landscape that is constantly changing?
In this interactive and engaging session, participants will:
- Understand the multiple roles expected of today’s safety leader
- Explore how to adapt leadership strategies to different levels of safety culture maturity
- Identify different safety leadership strategies for different individual employee variables in the workplace, including managing expectations both up and down the line
