January saw the start of Network Rail’s South East Route “Trusted to Lead” development programme for the Route’s front-line leader community. Benchmark has been selected to deliver the Applied Leadership module and also the Safe Performance Leader module following the outstanding feedback received from our existing Leadership Essentials and Safe Performance Leader programmes. Both modules are bespoke and were designed by us. Each utilises a dynamic, experiential approach throughout to ensure the learners remain fully engaged. The module’s develop critical safety leadership skills and behaviours and include key sessions on leadership behaviours, leadership styles, effective decision making, safety culture and role-modelling. A coach-approach is adopted throughout.
