A Concept Of Care

The core of Optimus’ behavioural approach lies in what we call

A CONCEPT OF CARE

What do we mean by ‘care’?

Considering a dictionary definition, ‘care’ includes:

To have regard and consideration for
To provide for physical needs, help or comfort
Protective or supervisory control
Guardianship
To protect, provide for, tend, watch over

We find that when these core facets of human behaviour are present in the daily interactions of managers and workforces, something quite miraculous happens – businesses and teams become focused, optimistic, motivated and – interestingly – successful, safe and profitable. People enjoy going to work and get a sense of achievement from what they do.

In Optimus, we’d aspire to create a positive culture in

• Health - where people care about their own and their employees’ health

• Safety - where people care about the safety of themselves and others

• Environment - where people care for the planet and our collective future, reconnecting with the natural world and taking steps to protect it from their own and other’s actions

Through giving individuals and organisations the skills and motivation to care, we aim to create cultures of care. Through our work, the Optimus team want to leave the world a better place than they found it. We are sure many of the leaders within our client’s organisations share this philosophy.
