Great (great!) work here from Engineers Australia and Transport Australia Society - TAs who want to make even greater gains for road safety. They say... "Governments should make all road safety data and information freely available." That's a great approach, if you have that data, including identifying where risk exists on your network. Do you? Abley shows jurisdictions where proactive risk is located on your road networks so you can manage that risk and reduce road trauma. We want to help departments of transport, counties, city, local and regional authorities (whatever you call yourself) reduce road trauma too. Contact me, and I'll point you in the right direction towards Shane Turner, PhD Paul Durdin Dale Harris Cath Jacobs Gavin Jeter Mark Reeves. #roadsafety #leadership #visionzero

With Holidays and end of year approaching, it can be easy to "put off" certain tasks and goals for your business. NOW is the time to take these things head-on so you can be setup for success going into a new year. BBSI can assist on so many levels, so let's have a conversation and see if we can help take on some of these areas for your group.

What a start to the half term as we once again broke another record not only for London's Pride but Fuller's itself. So proud of every single team member, every single transaction makes such a massive difference as the fiscal year is onto a great start, literally running (& not with scissors). What amplifies this is the consistency shown from everyone, the drive and team engagement is something that as part of the management team we can all be very proud of. Question is, can we outdo ourselves again this week with Half Term in full flow? #proud #manager #qsr #heathrow #airport #teamwork #team #work

I’ve worked at Amtrak for almost 20 years, and every opportunity I get I try to learn more about the industry.  I recently delved into "The Men Who Loved Trains" by Rush Loving, and it's a captivating journey through the railroad industry from the late 1960s to the 1990s. The book isn't just a fascinating read; it's packed with valuable leadership insights that resonate deeply with those in public safety roles within railroads and mass transit. Here are the top 3 insights from my perspective: 1. Embrace a Long-Term Perspective: Just as the railroad pioneers in "The Men Who Loved Trains" navigated challenges with a long-term vision, public safety leaders must adopt a strategic outlook that prioritizes sustainability and resilience. Invest in infrastructure, training, and partnerships that lay the groundwork for long-term success in safeguarding communities. By anticipating future needs and trends, you can proactively address risks and enhance public safety for generations to come. 2. Cultivate Operational Excellence: The dedication to operational excellence showcased in the railroad industry resonates deeply with public safety leaders striving for peak performance. Focus on optimizing processes, protocols, and resource allocation to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in emergency response and crime prevention. Encourage a culture of continuous improvement and accountability, empowering your team to deliver exceptional results under pressure. 3. Forge Collaborative Partnerships: Collaboration was instrumental in the growth and innovation of the railroad industry, and it remains essential for modern public safety leaders. Foster partnerships with government agencies, community organizations, and private stakeholders to leverage resources, share information, and coordinate efforts effectively. By building trust and collaboration across sectors, you can enhance the resilience and responsiveness of your public safety initiatives. 🌟 #coachingguardians #LeadershipLessons #PublicSafety #TheMenWhoLovedTrains

Great to be part of this event panel last week with Vinay Parmar and Tim Threipland, talking about how businesses rebuild trust after a crisis and public scrutiny. Three key takeaways from our conversation: 👏 Consumers want to purchase from brands that leverage their influence to encourage social impact, who aspire to raise the bar for business behaviour 🤝 Communities want businesses in their areas that support charity, education and environmental initiatives, and partner with local government to drive growth and create better places to live. 🫶 Colleagues want to work for organisations that can evidence an inclusive culture, built on mutual respect. And where do organisations need to focus to build deeper levels of trust, to evidence their competence and character? 1. Strong leadership – Board, ExCo and Senior Leadership teams all aligned, and leading by example to lay the foundations of strong, purpose driven ethical business   2. Individual accountability – building an inclusive culture rooted in trust is the responsibility of everyone in the organisation, not just something that your HR team does for you. Trust is mutual and needs to be co-created.   3. Courage – to do things differently, to make tough decisions, to acknowledge mistakes and most importantly, to never underestimate the power of an apology. Thanks to Murray Uniforms Ltd for hosting this brilliant event, to the hardworking teams that made it all happen behind the scenes and Liam Gibson for inviting me to be part of the day. #culture #purposedrivenbusiness CBI (Confederation of British Industry) Good Business Charter

I am, honestly, well chuffed at this, and it was a lovely evening thanks to New Civil Engineer. As I said last night, this is great recognition for the whole of the Net Zero Bridges Group, which has grown from five founding firms in 2021 to 37 member organisations today. If by some chance you don't know who we are and what we do, you can find out here: https://lnkd.in/e_N_zQEH I'll also take the chance again to thank the NZBG's executive committee and task group chairs for everything they contribute: Cameron Archer-Jones, Daniel Green, Chris Hendy, Ciarán Lynn, Ian Palmer, Clotilde Robin and Ben Sibert. And thanks also to all our members for their energy and enthusiasm: the value in a body like the Net Zero Bridges Group is all the platform it can provide for collaboration and collective action. The Group’s members have three things in common: we have publicly committed to address the climate and biodiversity emergency (see, for example, https://lnkd.in/eCUtpzV8); we want to understand how to reduce the carbon footprint of our work as bridge industry professionals; and we believe that we can do this better together than we could individually. As the climate crisis unfolds in slow motion, it is easy to put off decarbonisation, struggling with the sheer scale and difficulty of the challenge. We're all constantly tempted by the comfort blanket of business-as-usual, maybe hoping that we will be better placed to take action tomorrow. But we simply cannot afford to be climate crisis bystanders, hoping that someone else will step in. The value of a body like the Net Zero Bridges Group is that we can create and experience a strong sense of community interest, motivating us to share the burden, learn from each other, and advocate for collective action by others. I really do hope that in the years to come, this is just the first of many awards recognising the "outstanding contributions" that we might all hope to make in tackling the climate emergency.

I heard this from a leader and thought I would share my insights. In any organization, policies are crucial for structure and guidance. However, when policies overshadow the core values of a company's culture, the results can be disastrous. Two examples from the airline industry illustrate this point perfectly.   In 2017, United Airlines made headlines when a passenger, David Dao, was forcibly removed from a flight to accommodate employees. United’s policy dictated their actions, but at the cost of customer dignity and safety. The incident caused public outrage and long-term reputational damage. This is what happens when policy dictates culture.   On the other hand, Southwest Airlines demonstrated a different approach. When a passenger received tragic news of a family member's passing, the airline staff went beyond standard procedure, following up the next day to check on their emotional well-being. Southwest allowed their culture of care and empathy to shape their actions, proving that a compassionate response can define policies, even in the most difficult moments. I can bet that family is still singing Southwest's praises.   These examples serve as a powerful reminder: Culture should guide policies, not the other way around. When we prioritize human connection and values, we create an environment where policies serve people, not hinder them.   #Leadership #Culture #Policy #CustomerService #Compassion

"Stakeholder engagement is such an integral part of any business looking to grow - not only does it bring in new customers or clients, but it also brings different perspectives into whatever work you were doing. Suddenly you have a new segment of customers who are asking for something new or expecting a certain level of service, and the time and brain power that saves an organisation is astounding." Four steps organisations can take to develop their stakeholder engagement, and make it work - better - for them.
