Developing Your People
If you have a performance management program, it should cover not only your employee’s immediate training needs but also the development required to groom your employee toward this career goal.
Developing an Effective Training Strategy
It may be tempting to put off staff training indefinitely, waiting until there is more time or more money, but for your business to succeed, your employees’ skill sets must be complete and up-to-date. Employee development is one of the most important investments you can make in your business.
Investigate Incidents
If there is an incident in your workplace in which a worker is injured or could have been seriously injured (i.e., a near miss), both you and WorkSafeBC have specific responsibilities.
Workplace Inspection Checklist
This inspection checklist is for health and safety meetings, whether they are held monthly or more frequently.
Budgeting For Training
With the thought of taking from your operating budget to spend on staff training initiatives, it’s understandable if you consider employee development an expense. Yet because the benefits of training are so numerous, it’s much more beneficial to consider training as an investment in human resources.
Assessing Staff Training Needs
As your business evolves and grows, your employees need to keep pace with new developments. Evaluating whether your business needs training or not is the first step. Once you’ve identified gaps in the skills your employees need and those they currently have, you’ll be in a better position to decide what type of training is needed and who in your organization needs it.
Inspect Your Workplace
Regular safety inspections are a cornerstone of a proactive approach to health and safety. Inspections will help you identify hazards so you can take preventive action before an incident occurs.
Hold Safety Meetings
Regular health and safety meetings provide an excellent opportunity to get everyone in your workplace involved in the safety process. Maintaining communication between you, your supervisors, and your workers is crucial for the success of your occupational health and safety (OHS) program.
