Testimonials

We have managed to deliver improved safety performance through a period of significant change in our company in Aberdeen. Optimus have challenged our thinking and helped us to lead through our values around care and safety. We have transformed our safety performance from lower quartile to a
level of excellence over the last 20 months and we have seen corresponding performance improvements in non-safety areas such as plant uptime.
Sustainability has been brought about through the Optimus intervention approach of transferring capability into our organisation and equipping our team with new skills and methods for getting the best out of people - they are real enablers of change and performance improvement.

"There has been a big improvement in behaviours on site since the Optimus coaches started operating. The 1:1 communications have been really beneficial. The Optimus Coaches have done a really good job of breaking down barriers on site."

"There have been tangible improvements, apparent in the way supervisors are interacting and communicating with each other and with their teams.
There seems to be a more positive atmosphere".

"One-on-one session with a Project Manager was positive. He reflected on the positive changes he has experienced personally as a result of the Coaching and gave examples of the improved attitudes within his teams".

"I like the structure of the Small Group Sessions followed by the 1:1 coaching sessions. I would use this approach on another site"

Senior Construction Manager, Australia

"The Optimus people were of the highest caliber…the 'coach and assist' style used enabled potentially complex situations to be addressed in a positive manner, and also demonstrated a genuine concern for peoples safety."

Special Projects Advisor, Major Operator

"Petro-Canada's guiding principle of ZERO HARM was put into context in an original fashion by Optimus. I am confident that all attendees left the room believing in it. In the next few days, the feedback I received was overwhelming. I was left in no doubt that we achieved something that people felt was worthwhile.
Several of the employees mentioned that what they had learned could and would be extended beyond their workplace into their home and family life.
That's a huge testament to what was achieved."

Eric Kiltie, Project Manager,
Saxon Development, Petro-Canada

"The Coaching for Safety course was brilliant and totally enlightening for me - I'm continually applying it in meetings with my people"
