Moving from compliance to commitment-it's a matter of negotiation

Overview

The talk will provide an introduction into the skills of negotiating and achieving influence over those whom we expect to carry out our wishes from a safety professional point of view.  

Have we a right to expect commitment?  Of course not, so why are we surprised when we only achieve a compliance response.

Refreshments and networking will be from 17:30.

What's in it for me

Many organisations are caught in the compliance cycle, carrying out the functions as directed in a health and safety conscious organisation, developing more of a culture of defence and protect rather than initiative and forward looking business development. 

We live in a compliance driven society where the ogre of the various enforcement authorities and risk of criminal or civil proceedings appear to stifle the need to earn not only the respect but commitment of those in safety critical roles.

This isn’t about inspirational rhetoric this is about the appreciation, development and deployment of our most accessible asset - ourselves.

Who should attend?

Any health and safety professional or business manager who has identified the need to move from compliance to commitment; with a keen interest in encouraging the workforce to move toward a truly inclusive health and safety culture.
