Designed in collaboration with WorkSafe NZ - everything you need to start talking about health and safety at work.
View the Te Reo Māori conversation set.
Safer organizations perform better. But safer organizations don’t occur by focusing on hazards and incidents. Safety is a natural consequence of focusing on resilience. Our Health and Safety set is designed to elicit conversations centered around the behaviours that have the most impact on resilience.
📝 Note: This conversation set can also be run as a long form survey instead.
