The Active Leadership Audit Program (ALAP) is a collection of tools intended to drive consistency and formality around safety engagement. These tools are initially focused on Partner engagement, but they are available for all ERM employees to use in order to periodically and proactively look deeply at our projects and employee activities via Active Leadership Audits. The goal is to drive engagement with colleagues specifically around the topic of safety. While this type of engagement occurs continuously in the background, there is value to formalizing and structuring the assessment.
ERM has five types of audits that can be completed, depending on the type of activities that an employee is typically engaged in. The completion of each audit is documented using a specific, online form to ensure:
Audits are a leading indicator that can be used as one measure of safety performance, and can be done by all employees. However, the completion of these audits by Partners is intended to add additional value to their projects, by:
To incentivize engagement, each completed audit is awarded an Engagement Score. The Engagement Score is used as a positive and sustainable approach to engage our employees in the program and a way to track that engagement over time.
We are pleased to announce the FY21 individual ALAP leaders. These Partners were able to remain highly engaged with their teams during a very difficult climate through the use of our various ALAP tools.
We congratulate and thank the regional leaders for their continued emphasis on the health and safety of our staff.
