The advisor social safety
The advisor supports all supervisors and teams of our faculty with tailormade advise and execution. Diana focuses primarily on prevention. Care and case guidance are under the responsibility of HR, with Diana in an advisory role.
As a supervisor you have a special position; you are part of the current structure and you are responsible for the social safety of and within your team. Therefore, it can be valuable to have someone support you. We highly recommend you to look at ways to employ this support for your team.
Following an intake meeting the advisor determines the right support for your inquiry. For instance a preventive approach in three phases:
- Awareness: by reflecting on played out scenes (videos) on social (un)safety). The duration of this gathering is about 2 hours;
- Making arrangements within your own team about a safe and positive work environment. The duration is about 2 hours;
- Practicing addressing and dealing with uncomfortable situations. The duration is about 4 hours.
The advisor or a moderator/trainer creates an approach tailormade for your team and will guide you and your team. Aforementioned three phase approach is just one example and other approaches will be developed and worked out.
Who does what?
The advisor determines the wishes and situation within your team and develops, with your help, the substance of the support. The advisor is responsible for buying and developing (training) materials and preparations. The supervisor handles facilities. The execution of sessions can be guided by the advisor or a moderator or a trainer. An evaluation takes place after the sessions.
Budget
The working hours of the advisor, moderator or trainer and any purchased materials will be paid for with the budget of the social safety programme. Location rent, food and drinks or other facilities must by purchased with your own budget.
