Leadership Diagnostic, Assessment and Development

Developing effective leadership and a culture of care

Effective leadership is a decisive factor in your company’s success, influencing all aspects of operations and culture. However, unlike other elements such as processes or finances, it is difficult to quantify and measure reliably. This, in addition to the challenge of addressing leadership deficits internally makes engaging outside expertise not only appealing, but essential to effect meaningful change.

Our consultants have developed an array of tools to support the development of valuable leadership skills. We employ assessments such as our Leadership Diagnostic Instrument (LDI) or our Leader Care Profile to understand leaders’ strengths and weaknesses. SafeAlign and our Leading Safety Performance solution, as well as our program on understanding major accident hazards highlight the ways strong leadership can be harnessed to optimise safety. Our experts provide individualised coaching, too, as part of our comprehensive approach to helping leaders reach their potential.

Behavioural coaching for Leaders

Behavioural safety coaching for leadership and workforce

Training alone is not effective in producing long-term, sustainable behavioural and cultural change. The knowledge and skills gained in training must be embedded, which means old habits must be broken and new ones adopted. Our health and safety coaching services ensure this occurs by supporting the process.

Our coaches work to an agreed intervention plan created through consultation with you using diagnostic and assessment tools. The plan is designed to help you reach your safety objectives, and we provide regular reporting to measure progress towards these goals. Our safety coaches are able to adapt to a variety of audiences and effectively address company leadership as well as rank and file workers.

Behavioural Coaching addresses health and safety behaviours at all levels

Our coaching can take many forms, however its purpose is always the same: to increase awareness, understanding, belief, and advocacy around health and safety behaviours. To increase awareness and understanding, bite-size coaching sessions on specific topics can be delivered to the workforce and leadership level. Because consistent, sustained behavioural change is only possible when participants believe in its necessity, we follow up with coaching sessions aimed at generating belief and commitment to change. As your staff becomes more knowledgeable about the reasons behind specific changes, they are increasingly likely to “own” them, and behavioural change becomes a more organic process spurred by self-motivation.

Our coaches conduct group and 1:1 coaching sessions to support the process. At the workforce level, our coaches are on site, where the work is being done, to conduct on-the-job coaching. At a leadership level, coaching is more often 1:1, however group coaching sessions can be held to address a specific topic which all leaders would be benefit from.
