The Framework team want your staff to understand that injuries occur for reasons other than the obvious physical hazards. We can’t prevent injuries simply by providing manual handling training and signage telling people to be safe. Your team make daily decisions that are constrained by time pressures, the need to satisfy client expectations, limited resources and the inevitability of human fallibility. We want your team to understand that mistakes are inevitable but are also a rich source of learning.

Learning support

At Framework we advocate a pedagogical approach to supporting our clients. We understand that learning is about followership and partnership and we believe our clients benefit from stimulation to think critically. Although we position ourselves as subject matter experts in injury management, we recognise that successful injury management depends on an organisations’ culture and focus on learning.

Framework has developed the following programs to support our clients and we also partner with like-minded organisations to expand the range of services beyond our own specialties.

Supervisor mentoring/critical coaching

Ongoing assistance to supervisors, as needed, to assist in critical thinking and strategising in injury management. Research has identified that most supervisors feel the following with respect to injury management at work;

  • Helpless and confused in the role as a supervisor
  • Fearful of handling personal problems in the workplace
  • Guilt about putting more pressure on someone who is perceived to already have problems
  • A fear of confrontation, criticism or losing control.
  • Uncertainty of how to communicate about personal issues with the employee
  • Taking on a person’s stresses and problems as their own
  • Frustration at balancing the additional time spent in supporting individual employee needs with the demands of time pressures, service standards and management expectations.

Framework’s mentoring is designed to support supervisor’s critical thinking and enhance their learning, rather than to just tell them what to do.
