How it helps
While professional organisations already exist for technical health and safety professionals, previously there was no group to support executives whose responsibilities include wellbeing and safety, but who may or may not have a health and safety background. The GM Safety Forum fills this gap.
Who it is for
The GM Safety Forum is for people who sit at tier two of their organisation (tier three for very large organisations) and have the ability to mentor the CEO and/or directors on safety and wellbeing. Some members have technical health and safety backgrounds. Others come from other backgrounds such as people and culture, engineering, and law.
What it does
Key activities include:
Learning: Developing the skills and knowledge of individual members, encouraging mentoring among members, and providing thought leadership on shared challenges and opportunities.
Collaboration: Encouraging collaboration on specific initiatives, offering networking and information-sharing opportunities, and improving the capability of people working at all levels in health and safety.
Influence: Helping to set industry standards, providing collective input into the development of government and sector group policies, and where possible supporting HASANZ initiatives to lift professional standards.
Benefits
The GM Safety Forum will help members grow their own capacity and leadership. It is also an opportunity for members to collaborate to improve New Zealand’s health and safety system and performance.
