But what if we shifted our focus to the <em>presence of safety</em> instead? In this compelling episode of the <em>Enterprise Excellence Podcast</em>, I am joined by Anthony Gibbs, CEO of Sentis and author of <em>Positive Safety</em>, along with other industry leaders, to explore how organisations can transform safety from a compliance-driven obligation into a proactive, people-centred practice that enhances both well-being and performance.</p> <p>This episode delves into how <em>Positive Safety</em> aligns with enterprise excellence, the crucial role of leadership behaviours, and the importance of fostering intrinsic motivation among employees. The discussion also highlights real-world applications, particularly within BHP’s Hay Point operations, where Positive Safety principles have been integrated into the company’s broader operational excellence system.</p> <p><br></p>Contacts <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Brad: connect via <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradjeavons?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BGLnfvzirTeKETYXYCw61Nw%3D%3D" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn</a> or call him on 0402 448 445 or email <a href="mailto:bjeavons@iqi.com.au?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BGLnfvzirTeKETYXYCw61Nw%3D%3D&amp;subject=Podcast%20reach%20out" rel="nofollow">bjeavons@iqi.com.au</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anthony is contactable on:</p> <p>·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-gibbs" rel="nofollow">linkedin.com/in/anthony-gibbs</a> &nbsp;</p>What next? <p>1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<b>Buy and read </b><b><em>Positive Safety</em></b>: <a href="https://sentis.com.au/shop/?v=8bcc25c96aa5" rel="nofollow">https://sentis.com.au/shop/?v=8bcc25c96aa5</a>.
