Leading Safely
Are your leaders driving the kind of safety culture you want?
Research shows that leaders are critical in driving positive safety cultures, yet only 24% of leaders display strong safety leadership capabilities. The Leading Safely program is a collaborative project between MTC and workplace safety psychology specialists Sentis. The program is borne from MTC’s automotive industry WHS expertise and the safety leadership and culture change experience of Sentis, which makes the approach highly relevant and applicable to the industry. The program focuses on developing capabilities within your leadership team that will support your organisation to improve your safety culture.

The Learning Framework
The learning journey is built on best-practice instructional design and has been carefully crafted to support the transfer of learning concepts back into the workplace so you can be confident it will support a positive shift in attitudes and deliver results.
Our learning framework and interactive online platform supports training transfer by:
-
Creating motivation
Highly interactive training and webinar platforms replicate the face-to-face feel. Online modules are infused with videos and images, and the interactivity promotes engagement
-
Minimising cognitive overload
Learning modules are delivered in bite-sized ‘chunks’ designed to appeal to learners of today who may disengage from long modules or text-heavy online training
-
Supporting active learning
Inclusion of live webinar discussions focuses the responsibility of learning on participants and provides an opportunity to tailor discussions to relevant workplace examples
-
Focusing on practical application
The applied learning sessions are a critical component in supporting participants to apply the concepts to their work
-
Staggered learning phases
Staggering the online learning modules and webinars over time assists with the consolidation of information and transfer of comprehensive learning. The expectation that learners will participate in follow-up activities increases engagement and attention to learning materials

Safety Leadership Assessment (SLA)
Safety leadership is a critical predictor of an organisation’s safety culture. Yet many leaders are unaware of the competencies that drive effective safety leadership, let alone how they perform in these areas.
The SLA measures the extent to which leaders demonstrate effective safety leadership. The SLA is an online survey that takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and is goal is to encourage leaders to develop self-awareness of their safety leadership style and identify both strengths and areas they would benefit from developing further. It also provides clarity regarding the focus areas for future leadership development initiatives.
