Focusing on What Matters


Learn how to influence others towards meaningful change

Join a practical session with Francois Barton, Chief Executive of the Business Leaders’ Health and Safety Forum, who has helped hundreds of Kiwi businesses transform “we should” into “we did”. Francois will share real-life examples from New Zealand and Australia, and demonstrate how to pinpoint where to enact meaningful change. If you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed by the challenge of shifting workplace attitudes and practices, this is the talk for you.

Why Attend?
Behaviour change is difficult in a busy work environment. If you have been tasked with improving workplace safety but are finding it hard, this session will help. Many health and safety initiatives focus on fixing problems after they happen. Francois will help you distil what matters most to your teams, arming you with practical information and insights to inspire effective behaviour change. Learn how to create real change that sticks, not just quick fixes that fade.
