The Kader approach: from ‘having to’ to ‘wanting to’
We support organisations in developing their safety culture. Together with you, we build a modern, resilient organisation that meets the demands of today and tomorrow. Safety is in our DNA, and we’ll help instil that in your organisation.
Together with your organisation, we work to foster a safety culture in which staff are mindful of risks, hold each other to account for their behaviour and are committed to continuous improvement. Building such a culture takes time and attention. Drawing on our experience, we have already successfully helped many organisations on their way to achieving their ideal safety culture.
Our approach to safety and cultural change
Safety triangle: Safety goes beyond physical safety. In our approach, we place a strong emphasis on social and psychological safety.
Working together: Only Go faster – together, you’ll get further! To bring about a sustainable and widely supported cultural change, we invest in our partnership with the client. You retain ownership of your own organisation and culture. We’ll take care of the rest.
Change: Change from within: People want to change, but they don’t want to be changed! Involving staff and encouraging them to contribute ideas fosters a sense of ownership. We aim to make behavioural change fun too!
Our route
The journey we’re embarking on with you may consist of four stages:
Make it concrete!
The most common request we hear from organisations. What should we do? We’ll work on this together with you.
This often begins with a baseline assessment. Where does the organisation stand on the ladder? Kader has developed its own assessment tool, based on the SCL. The baseline assessment consists of two tried-and-tested components:
Based on this, we’ll discuss our findings and work with you to develop an Action Plan. We’ll flesh out the details and carry out the actions together with you. We’ve developed a wide range of interactive workshops. And if something doesn’t quite fit, we’ll make it work. We believe in bespoke solutions so that we can make a real impact and carry out interventions that make a difference.
We organise the training sessions, workshops and meetings, and develop communication programmes. You convey the overarching message.
Leadership and setting an example
There’s no getting round it – this is the key to your success! We’ll help, of course. And we’ll provide feedback and challenge you – we promise.
The Kader team
The Safety Culture team comprises experts such as organisational psychologists, change management specialists and safety experts. Together, we are fully committed to creating a healthy and safe Netherlands. Our vision goes beyond simply complying with regulations. We believe in creating a working environment that is physically, socially and psychologically safe. This not only reduces incidents, but also improves employees’ wellbeing and has a positive impact on society as a whole.
Many of our team members often teach on the MVK or HVK courses themselves, and some are even examiners. This is another way in which we maintain constant contact with the professional field and keep ourselves on our toes.
In addition to the Safety Culture team, Kader brings together every conceivable area of expertise. With 400 dedicated Kader colleagues and over 30 years’ experience, we support more than 100,000 clients and have trained 315,000 people. We have helped 7,500 companies achieve certification and provided 60,000 professionals with a software solution to take the pressure off them.
Curious? Please feel free to get in touch. We’d be happy to help you find a solution.
