“We engaged Margaret from van Schaik Health and Safety Solutions to develop a Health and Safety Leadership Program for our managers. Margaret’s ability to tailor the program to fit our industry needs and incorporate our internal systems and processes was key to a successful program for our managers. Margaret facilitated training workshops across New Zealand that created an environment for open and honest discussion and high levels of engagement. As a result of attending these workshops, our managers now have better understanding and knowledge of modern health and safety concepts and understand their role in developing a positive safety culture within our business.”
