Description
Supervisors are the linchpins in an organisation that set the performance levels when it comes to safety, productivity, skills development and job satisfaction.
This training has been devised for companies who have got a great or "getting great" safety culture in place, but they realise employees are getting complacent with safety and that they need to re-energise and empower staff.
This course teaches supervisors the importance of their job role and that what they demonstrate and request from staff determines safety levels. It provides supervisors with information about what makes a high performance safety culture, followed by 9 "Connect & Collaborate" Skills to improve employee safety engagement, teamwork and create a happy working environment.
This course is not suitable for those wishing to learn basic supervisory tasks or who do not believe safety is important. It is for those who have already been supervising and want to learn some cutting edge techniques on how to engage their employees on safety.
The program goes through how to use these skills in safety meetings and includes a Toolbox Meeting Template to help supervisors encourage better safety meeting performance.
This engaging and activity based video course (with just around an hour of content) includes a workbook with activities, a toolbox talk template and a quiz. It also provides additional training content to reinforce training via regular fortnightly emails.
The course is structured into seven main topics:
Introduction
The Importance of Supervisors
A New Workplace Culture Model
How to Connect Well with your Team
9 Connect & Collaborate Skills
Running a Great Toolbox Meeting
Using the Toolbox/Safety Meeting Template
This course is vital to supervisors who want to improve their ability to communicate and engage on safety matters, including making others more accountable for safety.
It is beneficial for companies and supervisors who want to change their safety culture or who realise that there must be a better way to encourage people to speak up and talk about safety in toolbox talks. It will also create a workplace where workplace bullying will be a thing of the past.
Who this course is for:
- Supervisor and managers. This is new information and is suitable for those wanting the latest leadership techniques.

Marie-Claire Ross started her career studying people and organisations at market research companies, thereby developing a deeper need to understand how to improve business processes and systems.
After deciding to help out at a video production house for a temporary position, she grew to love the ability of moving visuals to clearly communicate detailed information, furthering her love for research into an even deeper love for communication.
For the last 14 years, she has worked with large companies in Australia to improve both their safety and training communication materials, creating large scale manual handling, mental health and safety induction training programs.
She is the author of the highly acclaimed book, Transform Your Safety Communication. Her popular Workplace Communciation Blog provides weekly detailed information to business managers who want to improve their training, safety and workplace communication.
Now, despite preferring to work behind the camera, she stands in front of it to deliver the wealth of information she has developed from her research and client projects to help companies improve their safety culture.
In her spare time, she loves to read business books (of course!), cook vegetarian food, play with her children (by getting them to read), jog and dance (but not at the same time).
