6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) Reduction

Annual percentage decrease in incidents that result in lost work time across your scope.

Target · Year-over-year reduction of 10-15% across all business units under your remit.

If last year's LTIFR was 0.8, we'd expect it to be 0.72 or lower this year, directly linking to your strategic training interventions.

Near Miss Reporting & Safety Observation Increase

Percentage increase in proactive safety reporting (near misses, unsafe conditions/acts).

Target · 30% increase in reported near misses and safety observations within 12 months, without a corresponding increase in actual incidents.

A rise from 100 near misses to 130 per quarter, indicating a healthier reporting culture and better leading indicators for risk.

EHS Audit Compliance Scores

Average score on internal and external EHS audits, specifically on training compliance and effectiveness sections.

Target · Maintain >95% compliance score on all EHS training-related audit points, aiming for zero major non-conformances.

Achieving a 'Green' rating on the ISO 45001 training clause during the annual external audit, with no findings related to training gaps.

Workers' Compensation Cost Reduction

Year-over-year percentage reduction in workers' compensation claims and associated costs directly attributable to improved safety behaviours.

Target · Demonstrable impact leading to a 5-10% reduction in total workers' compensation costs within 24 months.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Making a Tangible Difference in People's Lives

You'll be driven by the knowledge that your work directly contributes to preventing injuries, illnesses, and even fatalities. Seeing a reduction in incident rates, knowing you've helped someone avoid harm, or hearing positive feedback about a life-saving training programme will be your biggest reward.

Receiving a message from a site manager thanking your team for a training programme that prevented a serious incident, or seeing the LTIFR trend downwards across multiple sites.

Solving Complex Organisational Problems

You thrive on dissecting complex EHS challenges that span multiple departments, geographies, and regulatory frameworks. Designing a learning strategy that addresses these intricate issues and seeing it successfully implemented will be incredibly satisfying.

Developing a global training standard for a high-risk procedure that harmonises local regulations and significantly reduces regional incident variations.

Building and Mentoring High-Performing Teams

You'll get a real kick out of developing your team of H&S learning professionals, helping them grow their skills, and empowering them to deliver impactful programmes. Seeing your direct reports thrive and take on more responsibility will be a key motivator.

One of your managers successfully leading a major EHS learning initiative from concept to global rollout, or a specialist being promoted thanks to your mentorship.

What frustrates people

The constant tension between 'production' and 'safety', where operational demands can sometimes deprioritise critical learning time.
Navigating complex organisational politics to get buy-in and resources for EHS learning initiatives.
The difficulty in definitively proving the ROI of preventing incidents—it's hard to quantify something that didn't happen.
Regulatory 'whack-a-mole', where new rules or changes constantly force revisions to established programmes.
Managing a team that might feel undervalued or constantly under pressure to 'do more with less'.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 job with minimal interruptions.
A role where you're solely focused on individual content creation without strategic oversight or team leadership.
An environment where all stakeholders immediately understand and agree with the value of EHS learning.
A role without significant travel, especially if you're overseeing multiple sites or regions.

8Who you work with

This role has a direct, profound impact on our entire workforce's safety and well-being, as well as our operational efficiency and regulatory standing. You'll shape the human factors aspect of our EHS performance, influencing everything from insurance premiums and workers' compensation costs to our employer brand and public perception. Basically, you're a critical defence against harm and a driver of a positive, responsible business.

Inside the business

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Learning Ecosystem Architecture & Integration

Our learning landscape is becoming more complex, with multiple platforms (LMS, EHS, HRIS, VR/AR, AI tools) needing to 'talk' to each other. You'll need to architect a seamless learning ecosystem that provides a unified experience, robust data flow, and maximum efficiency. Poor integration leads to data silos and frustrated users.

API Management & Data Governance · Single Sign-On (SSO) & User Experience (UX) · Learning Record Store (LRS) & xAPI · Cloud-Native Learning Solutions

This quarter: Review our current EHS learning tech stack. Map out all systems and their integration points (or lack thereof).
Next 6 months: Work with IT and EHS teams to identify key integration gaps and propose solutions, focusing on critical data flows for compliance and risk prediction.
Next 12 months: Lead a strategic review of our LMS and EHS platform capabilities, specifically looking at their ability to integrate with emerging AI and immersive technologies.
Ongoing: Stay updated on industry trends in learning technology and participate in relevant vendor briefings and conferences.

Quick win: Ensure your team is fully leveraging all integration capabilities of our current LMS and EHS platform. Often, there's untapped potential there.

Advanced Data Storytelling for EHS

It's not enough to have data; you need to tell a compelling story with it, especially to the Board. As EHS data becomes more complex (predictive models, behavioural insights), your ability to distil it into clear, impactful narratives that drive action will be paramount. This is about influencing with evidence.

Executive-Level Visualisation · Narrative Structure for Data · Contextualising EHS Metrics · Ethical Data Communication

This quarter: Review your last few executive presentations. Get feedback on clarity and impact. Look for opportunities to simplify and strengthen your data narratives.
Next 6 months: Seek out a mentor (e.g., from Finance or Strategy) who is skilled at executive-level data storytelling. Ask for their advice and critique.
Next 12 months: Take a course or workshop specifically on data visualisation and storytelling for business leaders. Apply the learnings directly to your Board reports.
Ongoing: Practice distilling complex EHS data into a 'one-pager' or a '30-second elevator pitch' for different audiences.

Quick win: Before your next presentation, ask a trusted peer to review your slides and explain them back to you. If they can't, you've got more work to do on your narrative.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attending and speaking at major EHS and L&D conferences (e.g., Safety & Health Expo, ATD International Conference) to stay abreast of industry trends and network with peers.
Active participation in industry working groups or committees focused on EHS best practices or learning innovation.
Engaging in continuous professional development through executive education programmes in areas like organisational leadership, behavioural economics, or advanced analytics.
Mentoring junior EHS or L&D professionals, which helps solidify your own knowledge and leadership skills.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, at your level, every minute counts. You're juggling strategic planning, team leadership, executive presentations, and probably a few urgent fire drills. Imagine if you could offload some of the heavy lifting and free up significant time to focus on what truly matters: shaping our safety culture and preventing harm. That's where AI comes in.

AI isn't here to replace your strategic mind; it's here to supercharge it. For a Director of EHS Learning, this means moving from reactive, manual tasks to proactive, data-driven insights. It's about using smart tools to automate the mundane, predict the unseen, and rapidly create the engaging content you need to drive real change. Think of it as having a highly efficient, tireless assistant for your most time-consuming tasks.

Automated Compliance & Escalation

Forget chasing overdue training. An AI agent can automatically track training deadlines within our LMS, send personalised reminders to employees, and—crucially—escalate overdue training directly to managers with clear action points, creating a fully audit-ready trail. You'll get summary reports, not individual nags.

Predictive Risk Hot-Spotting

Imagine AI analysing thousands of incident reports, near-miss logs, and safety observations, identifying emerging risk trends and patterns that humans might easily miss. It can then suggest targeted 'micro-training' interventions for specific teams or locations before a major accident even has a chance to occur. This moves you from reactive to truly predictive safety.

Regulatory Summarisation & Impact Analysis

New 100-page OSHA or HSE regulation just dropped? Use an AI assistant to ingest the entire document and get a 2-page summary of key changes, a list of affected employee groups, and even a first-draft 'Toolbox Talk' script. It can also help you quickly assess the potential impact on our existing training programmes, saving days of manual review.

Rapid, High-Quality Content Creation

AI tools can generate realistic voiceovers, create animated explainer videos from simple text scripts (think Vyond), or even produce AI-avatar-led training videos (like Synthesia). This drastically cuts down development time for e-learning modules and allows your team to produce more engaging content, faster, without needing a full production studio.

Common questions
