Training and Safety
"IF IT IS TO BE - IT'S UP TO ME!"
Why has MiniMovers' training won so many awards?
MiniMovers has one of the most systemised and streamlined training systems in the world.
These training systems have won many awards including the Australian National Training Association (ANTA) Award for Excellence in Training in the Transport and Distribution Industry and the Qld Chamber of Commerce and Industry & Qld Apprenticeship Services “Queensland Training Awards” for Medium Employer of the Year.
MiniMovers' Management Team understands the importance of training. By supplying structured, easy to learn, consistent, professional training to staff you overcome a lot of work associated problems such as:
- Safety issues (everyone is taught the importance of using safe practices in everything they do)
- Job satisfaction (if you are taught how to do your job to the best of your ability and given the right tools both physically and mentally – job satisfaction is increased dramatically)
- Growth (training is an important tool in the growth of an employee. Both personally and professionally – being given the training and opportunity to progress along a structured career path ensures our staff remain enthused and focused)
- Staff retention (when staff are given good relevant training in a company that shows it cares by its attitude to staff, retention is a very minor problem)
Why is safety of paramount importance to MiniMovers?
At MiniMovers we believe our staff are our most valuable asset. We therefore do everything in our power to ensure that safe practices are used at all times.
Training starts from your first contact with MiniMovers and continues everyday that you work for us.
Our Safety Committee meet to discuss issues and come up with “workable” solutions. Any incidents or non-safe practises are recorded and actioned daily.
Safety is the key consideration for every member of MiniMovers' staff, customers, suppliers and anyone who comes into contact with our company.
Ensuring a safe workplace for all is one of the very basic elements that our award-winning training system has been built on - it is ingrained throughout every section of training that staff complete at MiniMovers.
Our values ensure that MiniMovers' management and staff:
- care for fellow workmates, customers and visitors
- empower each other to work safely
- create training DVDs to ensure consistency of training thereby eliminating bad “unsafe” practises sneaking into the workplace
- train new members of staff to ensure safe work practices
- work together to prevent accidents
- understands that at the end of the day everyone is accountable.
All staff will participate in safety training incorporated into their training schedule. They may also elect to be part of the Safety Committee for their depot.
Remember: If it is to be – then it’s up to me!
