Humanising Safety for Leaders workshop

Service Description

The Humanising Safety for Leaders program explores the realm of human-centric safety and its intricacies, unpacking topics such as the contradictions and dilemmas of workplace safety, the psychology of safety, the human condition and its contribution to the safety of work, and how safety leaders can synthesise the collective knowledge, skills, expertise, and lived experiences of the people who make up an organisation. Featuring group exercises and case studies, these workshops allow participants to navigate the vast sea of information surrounding the opportunities and pitfalls of traditional and contemporary safety approaches through a lens of human-centric safety. The full day program focuses on the human origins of workplace safety, including an outline of our pragmatic four step process to humanistic safety and wellbeing and covers elements including: • Defining safety: How to navigate the landscape of safety models in the context of the work you do (traditional and progressive safety models). Making safety about people again • The psychology of workplace safety: Embracing the human condition and how it contributes to the safety of work, the neuroscience of workplace safety, establishing a healthier relationship with failure, and how safety is socially constructed in workplaces • Our safety brain: A crash course in the limitations of the human brain, cognitive shortcuts, managing biases and the psychology of risk-taking behaviours • Our four-step approach to humanising safety: 1. Get to know your people 2. Make safety simple 3. Involve end-users in the design of safety programs 4. Crowd source for safety solutions 5. Bringing it all together in a human-centred safety strategy The workshop concludes with an interactive exercise with participants to help them bring their insights and learnings together via the development of a human-centred safety strategy.
