Strategic Environmental Management Systems Courses
Because
every organization is unique, NAEM designed a training
series that would meet every professionals needs. From
environmental coordinators and managers just beginning,
to directors and engineers seeking to advance to a higher
level of sophistication, to those at the executive level
focusing on strategic aspects. Each course features expert
trainers, discussion-centered course materials and interactive
exercises and case studies.
Today’s EHS management demands are challenging companies
everywhere no matter what the industry. Corporate environmental
responsibility is at the forefront of regulators’ minds
while meeting compliance mandates with increasingly limited
human and financial resources is at the forefront of corporate
executives’ minds. As a result, NAEM created three
different one-day courses that can be taken separately
or in combination depending on your level of expertise
and your goals.
Course
1: Fundamentals of Strategic Environmental Management:
The Building Blocks
Learn the essential fundamentals of how an environmental
management system can impact business operations and performance
through an instructive macro approach founded in business
practicality. This course is specifically designed to provide
a comprehensive overview of environmental management systems
as well as clearly demonstrate their continuum of maturity.
Participants will gain key strategic environmental management
approaches and concepts built within the basic framework
of environmental management system. Expert instructions
will guide you along a roadmap that highlights key elements
and features of an EMS through the varying stages of maturity.
Who should attend? Environmental
coordinators and managers implementing an EMS for the first time or advancing their
current system, professionals in healthy, safety,
or quality control seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding
of environmental management fundamentals, environmental
regulators who want insight into how industry practices
environmental management principles, and EHS professionals with a field of facilities and background looking to gain
a better understanding of the basic management concepts
and theories of environmental management.
Course 2: Tips, Traps, Tools, and Techniques for Implementing
and EHS Management System
Learn how to
implement a more efficient and cost effective environmental
management system directly from the industry’s
most respected practitioners. In this dynamic one-day course,
practical hands-on instruction will show you how to overcome
the most frequently encountered challenges to successful
system implementation and how to get the most results from
your environmental management system. This approach takes
participants through an EMS implementation based on the
Plan-Do-Check-Act business model. With each step, course
instructors will help you navigate and successfully hurdle
implementation challenges.
Participants will obtain strategies needed to advance
their program to the next level and gain a better understanding
of various EMS models, approaches, philosophies, and principles
in use today. Case studies will help effectively demonstrate
concepts. While this one-day course builds on the concepts
and approaches introduced in Course 1: Fundamentals of
Strategic Environmental Management: The Building Blocks,
it is not a prerequisite. Some of the tips and traps to
be addressed in each area of the model include getting
management buy-in (Plan); harmonizing operational controls
with key risks (Do); building on and improving existing
performance measures (Check) and creating a connection
to the bottom line: is the EMS delivering management improvement?
(Act).
Who should attend?
Environmental coordinators and managers responsible for
implementing or advancing their organization’s
EMS, business professionals in health, safety, and quality
control or facilities management who have a need to expand
their knowledge base and skills, and environmental
regulators seeking to stay on top of mainstream EMS implementation
philosophies and approaches.
