Under the guidance of moderator Brandon Smeets, the training days kicked off with a plenary session on Monday, January 6. After a welcoming speech by Peter Vroom, an engaging interview with our management team followed, discussing all relevant topics, including a reflection on 2024.
Subsequently, the session “Brain-Based Safety in construction and infrastructure” was delivered by Brandon and Remko van Bakel. They provided insights into how the brain works and its impact on safety in daily practice. The importance of effective communication and collaboration took center stage, offering practical tools and valuable insights as key outcomes.
After a joint lunch, the group of employees was split up for two interactive workshops.
Workshop 1: Safety and collaboration from a different perspective
Sander van den Brandt and Remko van Bakel from KPE guided us through an interactive session on safety, communication, and collaboration. Drawing from his experiences as a team leader with the Justice Special Support Team (BOT), Sander, together with Remko, challenged us to translate this vision into our own work activities.
Special attention was given to themes such as addressing one another, avoiding complacency within teams, and fostering an open communication culture. Remko continuously made the connection to the construction sector, ensuring the workshop was directly applicable to our daily practice.
