Takeaways
Some key themes across these responses:
- Someone who can get engagement and participation rolling across the company
- The emergence of the QHSE manager can be problematic due to them having to know about ALL the requirements
- Finding people with technical skills with the breadth of the knowledge is very rare (guessing that only 30% of people would have these skills)
- With majority of the HSEQ managers - the 'E' and 'Q' are very small.
- An effective HSEQ manager can articulate the requirements and regulations of the standards in the language of that working group
- The ability to proactively influence high-level management
- The ethics and integrity of this person needs to be on everyone's radar
- People who look to improve business performance using fact-based data
- Have the ability to challenge the status quo (be the annoying person who challenges what is being done and why)
- Someone who has the competence and knowledge, or be able to find where to get this.
- The ability to delegate responsibility to other management positions, rather than take it all on themselves.
- Communication is key.
