Senior Executive Services: enabling an organisation’s senior management team to lead and execute safety performance strategy.

As leaders at the very top of the organisation, senior executives have limited time but substantial leverage. Using their influence, they can energise initiatives and motivate whole divisions or groups of individuals.

BST's planning and assessment services, processes and tools enable an organisation's top leaders to obtain and analyze the objective data they need to identify and rank their priorities for action. As a result, they can set the direction for a sustainable, organisation-wide commitment to both safety excellence and bottom-line results.

Strategic Safety Planning
Tailored to the organisation and based on in-depth prior discussions of the issues with key leaders, as well as assessment results where applicable, these sessions are led by consultants whose executive-level experience in similar roles ensures the relevance of their approach.

BST Strategic Safety Planning sessions advance and align executive team members' thinking. They provide clear pathways to action at both the team and the individual level. As a result, subsequent phases of the safety initiative can move forward quickly and effectively.

Organisational Culture Assessment
The Organisational Culture Assessment is a critical tool for measuring an organisation's readiness for change. It assesses nine factors known to underlie positive organisational performance in environment, safety and health. Using their organisation's Organisational Culture Assessment results, senior executives can determine their organisation's strengths and weaknesses with respect to the factors and anticipate at what level, where and why resistance can be expected.

Leadership Assessment
In working with hundreds of companies over the years, BST has found that certain management and leadership practices recur across those organisations that have outstanding safety performance. Our Leadership Assessment is designed to measure these critical areas of leadership capability.

The Leadership Assessment gives normed, percentile feedback to leaders on how others perceive their execution of seven safety leadership best practices and four dimensions of transformational leadership.

Organisational Sustaining Systems Evaluation
Organisational Sustaining Systems communicate what the organisation’s leaders value. No matter how well they are designed, if Safety Enabling Systems are not supported by Organisational Sustaining Systems, the disconnect will show in poor safety performance.

BST’s Organisational Sustaining Systems Evaluation examines four key areas for their role in contributing to or hindering an organisation’s safety performance:

  • Employee selection and development
  • Structure
  • Performance management
  • Rewards and recognition
