PPWD’s Compassionate Safety approach generates environments that accommodate humans for being human. Our approach aligns personal and organisational mindsets, beliefs and values. In doing so, workplaces are created where people thrive and flourish.

Through the development of self-awareness and awareness of others, the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual factors become equal safety priorities and result in colleagues who possess a clarity of vision, are calm, understanding, and agile in action.

  • Because it cares for humans and respects the need for work-life integration. 

  • Because it wants everyone to get to their pension point adverse event free and also in good health to enjoy the maximum benefit from life in retirement.  

  • Because each of us have first-hand experience of when it goes wrong.

How does PPWD enable Compassionate Safety?

All PPWD interventions are proactive, practical and pragmatic.

The Compassionate Safety approach and methods transcend traditional safety by encompassing physical safety with psychological, emotional and spiritual safety, this approach enables PPWD to:

  • Bring together individual and organisation safety motivations, values, beliefs and mindsets.  

  • Shift safety cultures from ‘doing’ safety to ‘being’ safe. 

  • Provide a management tool for safety leaders to both control hazards, and more accurately quantify risks and care for colleagues. 

The Compassionate Safety approach provides a holistic management of harm.

Learning Review

 

We establish sticky and meaningful learning to increase safety at work. Success is based on partnering, and open collaboration where learning is done with people, harnessing their experience to solve problems.

This is carried out through the creation of open, kind, inclusive, and cognitively diverse environments, which generate impactful interactions that remain long after the workshop.

  • reframe their approach to safety

  • build resilience in to your Safety Capacity.

"We’ve replaced the old finger-pointing culture of blame with something much more positive, much more inclusive, and much more useful. Hence, we’ve not only moved away from accidents and incidents to learning events, but we’ve also moved away from ‘investigations’ to ‘learning reviews’ too."

"PPWD were retained to provide us with training design and delivery support for a complex bid to a customer in the Middle East. Over the 2 years they worked with us I was continually impressed with their ability to adapt to a rapidly changing requirement and also the depth of understanding of the culture challenges and how to design training that exceeded the customers expectation. Nothing was too much trouble and they were a real asset to the team, I would gladly use them again."
