What are Working agreements?
Working agreements are guidelines that define how groups want to work together, and what they want in the working environment and from each other to feel safe and free to learn, explore and discover.
When people meet in groups, there generally are agreements about how interactions between the group members will happen. These agreements can be discussed, assumed or written down. These agreements can be called working agreements, ground rules, working guidelines, etc.
Simple solutions
HSEQ Direct is an online all-in-one Health, Safety, Environment and Quality MANAGEMENT SYSTEM incorporating interactive learning, certification, communication and registrationIMPORTANT AND USABLE FOR ANY HIGH-RISK WORK ENVIRONMENT... IN ANY INDUSTRY... EVERYWHERE!
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification. Martin H. Fischer (famous physician and author) hit the right spot with this one - it is also a philosophy that describes the essence of the HSEQ Direct Management System. In an everchanging inudstrial landscape, we are prone to gather knowledge on a scale never seen before. It's how we provide the content and functionality to the user that separates us from others.
SAFE, SUPPORTING and READY-TO-USE are just a few words that come to mind when talking about the HSEQ platform which is a result of more than 25 years of close cooperation with first-line workers and their companies in general. What does that mean for you and your company? It means that you can effortlessly introduce this sophisticated system within a matter of minutes and start making sure that everyone is on the same page.
Let us introduce just a few of the many TOOLS & SERVICES of HSEQ Direct which will assist you in that.
