Health & Safety

Drive continuous improvement with our support for HSEQ teams

You may have an in-house health and safety presence and systems in place to manage all hazards. But why stop there?

At WorkNest H&S, we understand that as your business grows, developing a strong health and safety culture, demonstrating good corporate governance, and ensuring greater transparency in reporting practices becomes even more important. You’re also more likely to face scrutiny should things go wrong.

Lisa BestHead of Service Delivery, Catalyst Choice
“Our relationship with WorkNest is more like a supportive partnership. They treat us like peers, and yet provide extraordinary support whenever we need it. Whether it is about the challenges of working through a pandemic or building a new HR strategy, the people at WorkNest have been kind, holding our hand when that was needed (and it was!) and skilled experts, providing guidance as we required it. We would not have managed through this last period without them, and I look forward to more of this cooperation ahead.”
