This list is not exhaustive and we would be happy to discuss your individual training requirements with you. All our training can be designed and delivered in-house, and is eligible for recognised Continuing Personal/professional Development (CPD) schemes. If needed, external validation and accreditation (e.g. Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) is available.
What makes us different?
Our training is based on decades of practical, first-hand experience in industry and consulting. Our people bring operational experience from industries such as electricity, emergency services, nuclear, coal, steel and water. They have spent years developing and implementing change programme's, gaining a detailed understanding of people and what motivates them, the daily responsibilities of line management and what works in practice.
Our experience is underpinned by in-depth knowledge of how people learn and behave. We take an interactive, engaging approach to training. This is proven to be more effective because it builds employees’ competence and they retain knowledge longer. Where appropriate, we use leading techniques such as the principles of Accelerated Learning, to build on the subconscious capabilities of your workforce.
What’s more, Greenstreet Berman is renowned for its research into health & safety. For example, we developed the Health and Safety Executive’s case studies of effective change and leadership. This involved interviews with numerous Directors, capturing lessons learned across the country, and surveying board level arrangements for direction of health & safety in hundreds of corporate organisations.
Benefits of our training
Your employees and executives can expect the following benefits from our training and development:
• Competence, giving you the confidence that employees have the requisite knowledge and understanding.
• Risk reduction, as people can be the weakest link, increased competence can reduce your risk.
• Opportunities for professional development through networking.
• Assurance on training effectiveness, whether you need an assessment of current competence levels or an independent audit of training.
In addition, organisations can expect the increased confidence of stakeholders, by demonstrating that management has addressed known risks such as the risk of litigation from poor health & safety performance. Research has shown that companies who train their people well are perceived by stakeholders in a more positive light and tend to perform better financially.
How our clients will benefit
We aim to help our clients develop and implement lasting and truly effective solutions
to risk related issues, whether they relate to corporate risks, public health and safety, environmental protection or sustainable consumption. Whether it’s the potential for risk management systems failing to deliver their intended benefits, corporate non-compliance with health and safety law, the risk of fire in a person’s home or the risk of consumers suffering food poisoning, we aim to identify, assess and minimise risk in a truly effective way.
A common thread runs through all of our work regardless of the specific area of risk. We aim to develop solutions that work in practice and not just on paper. We understand the human element, why people behave as they do, what attitudes need to change to bring about lasting effect and what competencies need to be developed to deliver improved performance.
