Leadership & Safety Culture Programme (L&SC)
Creating inspiring leaders who care
The CEDEP L&SC is an immersive 4.5-day programme that changes participants’ mindsets to create a positive culture that builds a high-performance and resilient organisation. The programme is dedicated to manufacturing and operations middle and senior managers, who strive to get safety just right and want to create a healthier, more engaged and effective workforce. It is one of our long-standing specialist programmes that has been running since 2008, with its latest redesign in 2024. Participants immerse themselves in a new dimension of thought leadership that mixes cutting-edge science and research with deep experience and practical application to help them create a safety culture within their organisation that reduces costly workplace accidents that are detrimental to productivity.
This transformational leadership journey gives participants the psychology, philosophy and powerful management skills to:
- Create inspired, high-performing teams
- Develop powerful management skills to become better, more respected leaders
- Develop a practical plan with strategies to implement
Main Objectives
Participants learn how to motivate people, influence behaviour, and be an inspiring leader who increases productivity through health and safety. The programme teaches managers from all sectors and industries to rise to the many challenges involved in creating a reliable and positive safety culture that boosts motivation, increases engagement, eliminates workplace accidents, protects the company’s reputation, and really does lead to higher performance. The three pillars of the programme are combined to give participants the mindset, techniques and leadership behaviours to have an immediate, positive and sustainable impact upon their return to the organisation.
- Knowledge to nurture and sustain a safety culture and the human factors involved in risk adjustment and decision-making
- Skills & Performance to master behavioural economics, engaging stakeholders and leading change
- Behaviour from preventing accidents to leadership, safety and stress management
