Gathering ‘Gold Dust’

Enabling employees to identify and voice the safety and efficiency challenges they face on a daily basis and propose durable and robust solutions

Gathering ‘Gold Dust’

To gain an insight into the current culture and areas of concern for the workforce and management, on-site visits enable WrightWay’s consultants to listen to staff and contractors and begin to uncover the potential solutions to the business challenges.

This process is extended to all levels of management and the collated gold dust is shared among all participants to enhance mutual understanding and help generate shared solutions to shared problems.

It is Wrightway’s experience that the material generated from the workshops and town hall meetings provide a rare insight into the prevailing attitudes of a company, whilst often generating simple and effective solutions to long standing problems.

Once the gold dust has been analysed, WrightWay stages workshops for all employees, with each session opened and closed by a Senior Maanger, underpinning the importance of the programme.

These facilitated workshops are designed to gain commitment from all company members in the pursuit of safety excellence and demonstrate the importance of the culture change. A collaborative plan is established to underwrite the new ‘Way Forward’ and to ‘Secure the Future’ for all.

Testimonials

John’s “Gold Dust” items from the sessions paved the way to improving relations between management and workforce, and paved the way for follow on sessions in revitalising safety.
