Tailored Health & Safety Training
NZQA H&S assessments and qualifications are an important way of showing that training has been completed and a specific level of competency achieved at course completion. But how much of that new knowledge do trainees actually retain over time and put to use in the workplace ? The answer is “it depends”…
The day after a course, participants will retain on average 10% of what they read, 75% of what they did hands-on and 90% of what they taught others.
At Futurebright we aim for a minimum of 75% by building upon and complementing NZQA H&S qualifications with tailored training that incorporates your team members’ everyday work, workplace scenarios and documentation. And for supervisors, first line managers and in-house trainers, similarly tailored training is combined with ongoing one-to-one mentoring to help turn theory into practice and impact.
There are many benefits to this approach - incident and accident rates are improved, health and safety becomes part of organisatonal culture, employee wellbeing improves and, importantly, it helps your organisation demonstrate a strong focus on participation and engagement as required under the Health & Safety in the Workplace Act 2015.
How it works
Futurebright creates custom Health & Safety programs tailored to your workplace, using your documents and relevant, real-life scenarios to create training that sticks.
These programs are the perfect complement to NZQA-assessed training and are highly effective when it comes to ensuring your people gain a real understanding of H&S and know how to apply key concepts in the workplace.
And don't worry about scheduling headaches, we're flexible and work around your team's needs including timing courses to suit shift workers.
Engaging & interactive
No 'Death by PowerPoint' here. Our training is always interactive, workshop-based and designed to keep participants engaged and maximise knowledge retention.
We use customisation and skilled facilitation to improve engagement and understanding with the end goal of getting your people actively involved in making H&S real, relevant and a key part of your organisation's culture.
Beyond Health & Safety
Soft skills (sometimes referred to as transferable, interpersonal or power skills) are general traits – such as communication, teamwork, and adaptability – which are not specific to any job and that help employees excel in any workplace. According to research conducted by Harvard University, 85% of job success can be attributed to these types of skills with the remaining 15% being due to technical skills.
We use LEGO® Serious Play® and Riders & Elephants’ Emotional Culture Deck to incorporate soft skills development into our training and have found both frameworks to be highly effective and well-received by trainees.
Cost-effective
NZQA certified Health and Safety training is critical in high risk work. We work alongside this training, making it highly relevant to your workplace and something that works for you and your team.
Refreshing knowledge to enable growth and enhance stickability is a practical and affordable way to make sure your workplace or team stay vigilant and embrace Health and Safety (and with a bit of fun thrown in the mix).
When it comes to improving wellbeing levels and growing your Health and Safety culture this approach is great for both participants and your bottom line.
Beyond Health & Safety
20+ years as a flight attendant and Police officer has provided me with deep experience in the areas of customer service, de-escalation, addressing workplace bullying and communication and taught me how to work at all organisational levels.
That experience, combined with Counselling Certificate training, has enabled me to branch out into helping organisations develop and implement impactful wellness and mental health programmes.
