Description
When we first introduced the Just Culture Certification course over a decade ago it was a 40-hour in-person course with homework at night and a 10-question essay exam. At the time, we needed to build champions who could sway the hearts and minds of a leadership team. As time passed, and Just Culture became more of an industry standard, the need shifted to building competency in our core Just Culture model and the Just Culture Algorithm™.
Our original 40-hour in-person course is now the MASTER Certification course in a remote, e-learning environment. The marketplace of ideas is getting filled with a variety of Just Culture models, some good, some lacking safety science and legal rigor. And many people believe they understand the concepts, having never been formally trained. It’s time to rebuild intellectual champions that can stand up to lesser models, to help guide the change at the executive level. Whether you are an HR or legal leader, a safety leader, or an operational leader, this is the course that will give you the background and competency to steer the ship.
Put a cadre of leaders through our 3-day or 8-week courses to ensure you have sufficient organizational competency. And put a few key influencers through the 40-hour MASTER Certification course. Don’t shortcut workplace justice!
