With individually tailored programs and coaching for leadership, we create sustainable solutions.
Sustainable cultural change begins with leadership. etalon provides long-term support to companies, from training on new methods to leadership coaching, and tailors all training courses to individual needs.
Behaviour-oriented safety work is based on good communication. We develop tailor-made solutions for goal-oriented and appreciative communication across hierarchical levels and organisational units. We also provide training in dialogue techniques.
Reactive environmental protection for legal reasons is not appropriate today. That is why we support companies in integrating the careful use of natural resources into their value chains.
Behaviour-oriented safety and process reliability complement each other and form a single unit in many manufacturing industries. We support companies in the preparation of vulnerability analyses and risk- based safety programs.
The etalon team combines the expertise of occupational and business psychologists. Our experts specialise in issues relating to safety culture and change management and have in-depth knowledge of industrial practice in the fields of safety and environmental protection. Through our international network of consultants and trainers, we can also expand the range of our existing expertise as required.
