Looking Forward: Australia’s Transport and Logistics Sector

In partnership with our clients and business partners, we have been organising and hosting a variety of events to create thought provoking spaces for transport and logistics leaders. With senior leaders from TNT, DHL and TfNSW attending our upcoming CEO Safety Forum, this will give executives and safety leaders an opportunity to discuss how boards are driving safety and potentially view how other organisations achieve this. Paul Endycott, will also be providing a 15min industry update at next week’s CEO Safety forum on any changes within the Chain of Responsibility sector.

From senior executives in transport companies to heads of HSE in logistics organisations, we aim to create the opportunity for leaders to discuss what they are doing within Work Health & Safety. This allows for businesses to compare approaches, run ideas past each other and increase their professional networks which allows for the future sharing of information.

Over the past quarter Zenergy have been supporting leading logistics and manufacturing organisations to conduct thorough, successful search process within their safety teams by partnering with their internal HR function, for instance a global logistic leader we have recently placed a culturally focused GM of WHS. As we have seen a shake-up across leadership roles as the market interchanges, we have been able to directly target suitable people to fit in within subject organisations. Understanding the company operationally is key and knowing where their safety strategy is heading towards, one of the largest suppliers of combined air services in the world offering aircraft ground handling, cargo, and flight catering services across five continents recently brought in their Head of HSEQ through our dedicated process as they are growing globally. Working alongside a global manufacturer employing over 5,000 nationally we have help increase their safety profile and capability with the selection and onboarding of a new National Safety Manager who will help drive the group’s safety culture across a high risk and diverse portfolio.

Site Safety Tours

Leading into 2018 and further, whilst continuing our engagement with these key industry sectors through our site safety tours, where leaders can visit different organisation’s facilities and learn more about their WHS approach and how processes, procedures etc. can be done differently. This will give an additional insight as to how the recent changes in safety leadership teams have allowed businesses to develop and change throughout the following year. Please contact me if you would like to become involved.
