The word ‘impart’ at the beginning of the name ‘Impart-WHS' is to emphasise how the sharing of evidence-based knowledge, and great conversations that share experiences and ideas, will lead to better safety outcomes. While this is not a radical idea, it is rarer to see it in practice than it is to read about it in social media posts. The term ‘impart’ also emphasises a certain way of delivering solutions to clients; where capability is transferred by adapting the client’s pre-existing procedural systems, operational ways-of-working and assurance processes.
Consultants often provide solutions that are largely stand-alone, and the client is left with the task of integrating what they can into their business. An Impart-WHS solution is designed to integrate any new approaches step-by-step, into your existing business processes, thus building your solution.
For instance, there is benefit to a specialist firm conducting an assessment of your WHS processes or a survey of your team members regarding their perceptions of your safety efforts. However, a better outcome would be for that effort to take the form of a joint project with the relevant safety, human resources and business assurance operators that imparts how this is best done, both initially and into the future.
