1/2 Day Basic Management — Time Management
Do you ever look at the clock and wonder where the time went? Then you realize that there are not enough hours in the day to finish the multiple tasks you have to get done before you go home. Don’t get robbed of time you can’t get back. You will learn practical tricks of the trade you can start practicing as soon as you get back to your office.
1/2 Day Basic Management — Communications
Nobody will be surprised to hear that you have said something that you regretted but it was too late. Communication styles track closely to your personality type. Find out what you specifically may be able to do to convey your messages more effectively. Let us stir up your habits and even your company culture and show you how you can reconstruct it and convey your messages more productively.
Driver Hiring, Screening, and Retention
90% of all accidents are caused by driver error. Don’t hire your next accident! Finding qualified drivers is every transportation company’s major challenge. We may not be able to find the driver for you but this seminar will help you set the appropriate standards, reinforce your screening techniques, and once hired, help you to keep the driver longer. Each driver hired costs you over $5000—don’t waste your investment.
Risk Control and Investigations
After we look at what an accident actually costs, there will be plenty of motivation to stop them without even considering the possibility someone has been hurt. The primary goal of the safety professional is to stop all accidents. This is an admirable objective but in reality, accidents happen even in a perfectly managed operation. There is much that can be done to prevent the accident but once it occurs we cannot let it be repeated! By gathering and investigating every detail of an accident scenario we can identify the root cause. Let us give you some ideas that you can implement right away before the next accident.
Safety Professional Foundations
The school of hard knocks gives you your test before the training. Not good and very costly. Let us help you with the basics of safety. Learn what it means to be a safety professional. What is your mod rate and what does that mean? Learn accident control and tracking procedures. Workers comp lessons learned by hundreds of managers before you will be shared. Learn from others’ mistakes before you get the hard knock. “Must-know” basic OHSA is in the outline.
