Collective Training for Front-Line Teams – Section Capability Development

Tuesday, May 29th, 2018

Network Rail – Anglia Route

Benchmark has successfully created and facilitated a three-day collective learning event for a Network Rail front-line team in Anglia Route. The event focused upon developing the collective understanding, knowledge, skills and performance of key Infrastructure Maintenance staff working within a specific Engineer’s area of responsibility. Staff attending the event included the Engineer, Section Managers, Supervisors, Planners and Administrators.
Working in partnership with Anglia Route operational management and L&D staff, we created a highly experiential, fully contextualised learning event that enabled each of the participants to understand fully the tasks, challenges, interfaces and opportunities that characterised each of their roles and how the work of others impacted either directly or indirectly upon them. Through considered facilitation, the team were able to identify a wide range of practices and procedures that they can introduce in a measured way that will further improve integrated working and both individual and collective performance. The event also enabled the participants to plan, record and measure collective improvement as an integral part of the team’s continuous improvement programme.
The framework for this type of event is entirely scaleable to every business unit within Network Rail.

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Babcock International Group plc is the UK’s leading engineering support services organisation, with revenue of circa £3bn in 2010 and over 27,000 skilled staff.  Babcock’s Rail Division is a leading player in the UK’s rail infrastructure market. Babcock Rail have built a reputation for delivering quality engineering projects by championing innovation and introducing new technologies into the rail industry, underpinned by the highest standards of safety.  Benchmark Training Ltd has this week delivered the inaugural Rail Supervisors’ Leadership Course to employees of Babcock Rail at our 500 acre training facility at Moreton-in-Marsh.  The training will lead to improved leadership performance and to more efficient and safer renewals operations. This will lead in turn to a change in attitude and, more importantly, in on-site leadership behaviour and culture. Delegates on the course enjoy a variety of training media and methods, and an emphasis on experiential learning through leadership development scenarios set up across our operational training site. Students are also encouraged to learn from each other through facilitated learning sessions.  Ultimately the training will lead to an even greater emphasis on performance and safety for the delegates within a company which is rightly proud of its safety record and initiatives.
