Summary
Most safety training programs are built around one goal: staying compliant. But the organizations with the best safety records, fastest onboarding times, and strongest retention aren't just checking boxes — they've turned training into a strategic asset.
In this webinar, Novara's Jeff Costlow walks through a proven 4-stage Training Maturity Model, from reactive compliance programs to data-driven learning cultures that deliver measurable business outcomes. Drawing on 16 years of hands-on experience building training programs across oil, gas, and mining, Jeff breaks down exactly what separates a compliance checkbox from a competitive advantage — and how to get there.
You'll learn:
- How to assess where your organization falls on the training maturity spectrum
- What separates a compliance-driven program from a competitive one
- Practical steps to advance your program in 30, 60, and 180 days
- How training data can inform hiring, operations, and strategic decisions
Perfect for: EHS managers, safety directors, operations leaders, and anyone responsible for workforce training and development.
