 Pulse Program Overview : 5

HSE climate is the way in which people enact HSE policies and
practices. It is the collective HSE attitudes and behaviours at
Technip which determine our HSE climate and therefore our
HSE outcomes and performance.

Technip is “taking it further” in its approach to HSE climate change through

the deployment of Pulse – its unique HSE climate change program.

The Pulse Program provides a suite of tailored tools and techniques to impact Technip’s HSE climate. Program components
include tools to measure the HSE climate and workshops and training courses which communicate key messages in the most
appropriate format for individual target audiences within the organisation.
The Pulse vision is to embed Health, Safety and the Environment as values for life across Technip. A positive shift in attitudes
and behaviours will result when this is truly embraced and enacted by all. In this manner, the Pulse Program will help Technip to
attain HSE excellence, climate change and industry reference company status for HSE.
The power of effective leadership and communication is harnessed during the various Pulse workshops and training courses.
Research and best practice suggest that these ingredients are key catalysts for HSE climate change and hence essential to the
successful cascade of the Pulse Program.
Successful realisation of the vision, however, is dependent on the Pulse Program reaching and impacting everyone. This can only
be achieved by packaging the key messages in the most appropriate and relevant manner to meet the needs and requirements
of all.
The Pulse menu was developed to ensure that a consistent message and methodology was communicated to all in a manner
which would most effectively and practically connect with people in their individual roles and responsibilities.
This document provides an overview of the Pulse menu and the recommended target audience for each component.

The Pulse Story

2007 : The Pulse Program was launched and the story begins.

Why was the Pulse Program developed?

The Pulse Program was developed to improve HSE climate and performance within Technip and to help us become the
industry reference company for HSE.
This aim is reflected in our HSE policy statement:

“ To promote a climate and focus in the organisation that demands positive and proactive
HSE responses from all its employees or those engaged in our activities”.
Technip HSE Policy 2007

In 2007, a robust HSE management system was in place but HSE performance was not as desired. To positively impact
the HSE climate and stimulate change, we needed more – our people needed to be considered in a deeper and more
focused way. It is the mind-sets and behaviours of our people which determine how effectively our management system
is implemented and ultimately our HSE performance and climate.
In line with industry best-practice and research, it was recognised that to achieve optimal results for HSE climate change,
the program needed to address and contain the following key elements:
1) HSE Climate Survey
2) Connection with and impact on everyone via a top-down approach
3) Shared vision
4) Value-driven philosophy focused on Leadership and Communication
5) Technip brand and ownership
6) Globally standardised and consistent content
7) Continual improvement
More details on these seven key elements are provided below:

1) HSE Climate Survey

Understand our current HSE climate. To identify where to focus efforts for optimal results, it is important to fully
understand the starting point - what attitudes and behaviours are prevalent, what issues, concerns, strengths and
weaknesses can be identified. The survey is designed to measure workforce perceptions of the way in which management
embrace and enact HSE behaviours and is structured under the following headings:
 Senior management commitment
 Supervisor commitment
 Line manager priorities
 Promoting the safety climate
 Management visibility
 Risk-taking behaviours
 Incidents and stopping the job
 Satisfaction with safety activities
 Pulse Program Overview : 7

2) Connect with and impact everyone using a top down approach

Put a program in place which positively impacts HSE attitudes and behaviour across the organisation. The Pulse menu has been
developed to ensure that common key messages are packaged and presented in a way which is suitable for the target audience.
As our target audience is diverse, different courses and workshops are required to meet this challenge. The Pulse roll-out
diagram is shown below:

The Pulse menu is prepared using the common key ingredients of leadership and communication. These are presented using a
variety of “dishes” to appeal to all palettes from an HSE perspective. In this way, everyone is touched in the most impactful
and effective manner to inspire the attitudes, behaviours and actions which will create true and lasting HSE climate change at
Technip.

5) Technip brand and ownership

Brand and program developed and rolled out internally to instil pride and ownership in the program. The Pulse Program was
created as a brand so that although different courses and workshops needed to be developed to most effectively connect with
everyone, people would recognise the common elements and feel part of this shared climate change program and journey.

6) Globally standardised and consistent content

All Program core content is standardised and consistent globally. Local content is used to provide relevant pictures and work
scenarios where appropriate, without compromising the core content which remains standard and globally consistent.

7) Continual improvement
All program content is under continual review and development to ensure that the program remains in tune with the ever
changing challenges of our globally diverse business environment.

The Pulse Program Development Journey

2007
The first step was to develop and roll-out a robust HSE Climate survey. Dr. Steven Yule worked with us and a tried and tested
industry survey format was used for the core content. This was then customised to meet Technip needs and requirements.
2008
The Global HSE Climate Survey was launched and rolled out across the company with a target of 100% of Technip employees.
It was available electronically and 10% of the target population participated via one to one interviews. This provided deeper
insight into and understanding of the survey data, since employee opinions and comments were provided in addition to direct
survey response data. 17,655 usable responses were received, equating to an 80% response rate.
The Leadership workshops were then developed and rolled out first to Technip’s 350 top managers. They comprised two
sessions of two days’ duration. The first instalment focused primarily on the importance of HSE leadership and the role of the
participants. Key outputs included the development of a Technip HSE value statement and a set of performance standards.

“The Health and Safety of our people is a core value and an absolute commitment”

The second instalment focused on communication based on the Articulus methodology. This provided a framework for the
development of powerful HSE messages which, when delivered effectively, are retained and acted upon by recipients. The
latter is essential for effective HSE communication leading to positive climate change. This roll-out process took place between
June 2008 and February 2009.

“I want Technip to be the industry reference company for HSE”.

Thierry Pilenko, CEO, Technip.

This bold and inspiring vision provided the stimulus for the launch of the Pulse Program. The words resonate across our
business today and can be heard during presentations and meetings across the globe.
2008 Key Outcomes
> Endorsement of HSE as a core value in Technip
> Technip HSE value statement developed by Technip’s top 350 managers
> HSE leadership performance standards also developed by Technip’s top 350 managers
> HSE leadership communications – annual Pulse Communications Week began 9–13 March
2009 - 2011
Training of internal trainers and on-going Pulse Program menu development continued as follows;
> Leadership workshops modified and condensed from 2 days to 1 for wider roll-out
> Manager and Supervisor training
> Pulse For the Workforce training
> Pulse For Engineers workshop
> Pulse Coaching
2012
The Pulse HSE Climate Survey – this was rolled out globally for the second time. 19,259 usable responses were received,
equating to a response rate of 59%. We are not aware of any other company in our industry having conducted a climate survey
and achieving this percentage response. The latest developments to the program are the Pulse Recharge workshops and Pulse
Coaching.
2013 Onwards
We have a target of 75% Pulse Program roll-out to all personnel by the end of 2015.
We have 17,000+ direct participants in Pulse and 200+ internally accredited Pulse trainers and facilitators to date.

Pulse Safety Climate Survey

Overview:
The aim of the survey is to gather employees’ perceptions on leadership and safety on the following themes:
 Senior management commitment
 Supervisors’ commitment
 Line managers’ priorities
 Leadership visibility
 Transformational leadership
 Risk-taking behaviours
 Incidents and stopping the job
 Satisfaction with safety activities
 Promoting the safety climate
 Safety changes they would make if they were CEO of the company for a day

Method
The Pulse survey was compiled from existing validated materials and past research, with additional scales and items developed
specifically for Technip Group in 2007. The survey was piloted in the North Sea Canada region and the Technip fleet in 2007.
HSE Group and the regional HSE leads were involved in reviewing the results and revising the questionnaire for the Technip
Group global survey roll-out in 2008. The questionnaire was subsequently revised in 2010 and 2011 by Dr Yule in consultation
with Technip Group.

Questionnaire format
The questionnaire has 90 questions and takes 20–30 minutes to complete. Participants respond to a series of yes/no
questions, scale questions (5 point anchored scales: i.e. strongly agree to strongly disagree) and ranking questions; and have
the opportunity to write free-text responses where appropriate for some questions. The target population is 100%. 10%
of the target population are invited to respond by participating in a one-to-one interview. The interview data collection
methodology provides additional information from which a deeper level of insight and understanding is gleaned to assist with
the survey analysis and interpretation of results.

Safety Climate defined

Safety climate research shows that management have a clear influence on safety performance through what they say but also
what they do, and can influence employee engagement, involvement, participation and the level of risk employees are willing
to take. Employees pay attention to explicit statements and actions by managers and co-employees regarding safety, as well
as implicit messages from management about the relative status of safety compared to other organisational goals such as
productivity, efficiency, schedule, service, and quality. They use this information to make decisions at work, especially when
unsupervised or where there is a conflict between safety and productivity. In these situations, employees are likely to behave in
line with perceptions of their managers’ real priorities; so leaders who consistently endorse the safety message will have more
influence on safe behaviours in the workforce. Leaders who focus on productivity at the expense of safety will find that their
employees will hold similar values. The power of safety climate is that it allows us to examine where the current perceived
balance lies between these priorities.

Implementation status
The Pulse Safety Climate Survey was first conducted globally across Technip in 2008 where over 17,500 usable responses were
received. This provided the largest data-set of its kind known in the industry. The second Pulse Safety Climate survey was
carried out in 2012 and received 19,259 usable responses.

Background to key Pulse HSE Climate Survey themes:

Senior Management commitment

Senior managers set the tone and vision for the organisation. They have direct influence on the agendas of middle management
and an indirect impact on the performance and motivation of the workforce. Research shows that senior management
commitment (which reflects how committed the organisation is to employees) is an important way of building trust and
ownership among employees, convincing them to set aside personal goals and buy into organisational ones, and perform
beyond expectations. Senior management commitment is measured by examining managers’, supervisors’ and employees’
perceptions of senior managers’ (i) trustworthiness, (ii) people skills, (iii) how genuinely senior managers are concerned for the
safety of employees, and (iv) how promptly they are thought to act on safety concerns in one combined scale.

Supervisors’ commitment
Supervisors play a crucial role in the day-to-day management of Health and Safety. Previous research has found that the most
important skills for supervisors are approachability, good communication skills, demonstrating commitment to safety (i.e.
leading by example) and adopting a ‘no-pressure’ style. Supervisors’ commitment is measured by asking questions on providing
safety equipment, solving problems, communicating, monitoring safety performance and providing and using information to
improve and promote safety

Line Managers’ priorities

Survey respondents are asked if they were to fail in one of the following areas, which would be viewed as most serious by their
line manager. Is it schedule, budget, environment, reputation or safety? This is used to indicate the real priorities of managers
and reflects employee perceptions about what managers actually do, rather than what they say. Workers’ perceptions are often
thought to be most important when assessing safety, however, the perceptions of managers and supervisors are also important
as it is they who signal how important safety is within the business and determine whether safety is held as a core value.
Line managers who are not thought to hold safety as a value are most dangerous when there is a direct conflict between
safety and productivity at work; or if perceived pressure for productivity is high. Under these circumstances, line managers
may undermine safety by focusing on targets when safety should be prioritised. They may also put pressure on employees to
continue working when the job should be stopped and to cover up incidents rather than report them.

Leadership Visibility
One of the cornerstones of a positive safety climate is the visibility of management as it demonstrates time and commitment
to individuals when managers are on site and approachable. The aspects to pay attention to are (i) how positive are
respondents about visibility? and (ii) how consistent are those perceptions among workers, supervisors and managers at each
location?

Transformational Leadership
Effective leadership can make the difference between mediocre and industry-leading performance. In the survey, respondents
are asked to rate their line manager on a series of statements relating to transactional, transformational and passive leadership
styles. Definitions of these styles are detailed overleaf:
Pulse Program Overview : 12

Transactional Leadership
This is the basis of all leadership, and concerns the ‘transaction’ between leader and follower. Transactional leaders are good
at making clear what the required level of performance is and what employees will receive for achieving goals. They monitor
performance against agreed standards and focus on mistakes, poor performance and deviations from standards. Relying too
much on a transactional style, however, means that the leader is always concentrating on performance today, rather than the
longer-term picture.

Transformational Leadership
Is visionary and motivating, encouraging others to set aside short-term personal goals in favour of longer-term organisational
ones. Transformational leaders are good at talking about their vision of the future for the company and involving people
in achieving it. They are intellectually challenging, inspirationally motivating, charismatic and appeal to the individual
developmental needs of followers. Higher scores on transformational leadership are more desirable.

Passive Leadership
Is by definition an undesirable style and involves being absent when needed, failing to provide direction and waiting for things
to go wrong before taking action.

Leadership behaviours
Respondents are asked to choose three words or phrases from the following list that best describes their line manager
with respect to safety:
 “Walks the talk”
 Prioritises productivity when under pressure
 Listener
 Only interested in what his/her boss thinks
 Talks about values
 Inconsistent
 Committed
 Does not allocate resources
 Visible

Risk-taking behaviour; incidents and stopping the job; satisfaction with safety activities
Perceptions of risk, level of comfort at stopping the job (where unacceptable risk is present) and satisfaction with safety
activities are important factors in determining subsequent behaviour. Respondents are asked a number of scenario-specific
questions around these three headings which provide valuable behavioural indicators.

Pulse Articulus

Duration: 2 days

Target audience:
All personnel required to develop and deliver key HSE messages.

HSE Leadership Communications workshop:

Pulse Articulus is an HSE Communications workshop, looking firstly at how humans make decisions and then learning how
to develop and deliver a compelling message that gets employees to make the right HSE decisions. A premise of effective
messaging is if you want people to make a decision and take an action, they will have to learn something about your idea.
People will learn much faster if they are interested in what you are talking about and if you want people to be interested,
you have to get their attention first.
Unfortunately, most communicators jump right into the statistics and technical information of their idea. If your audience
isn’t listening to you how can they learn what they will need to make a decision? When you jump right in at learning,
you miss out on an important ingredient people need to make decisions – emotion. There is not much emotion in
statistics, but they can be presented in an emotional way and learning can be more effective. Humans require both logic
and emotion to make decisions. A message presented emotionally will sink deeper and evoke decisions faster than one
that is not. When that same message is supported logically, the human brain really responds to the message. These are
fundamentals behind the Pulse Articulus workshop.
Through the following agenda, we give our students not only tools, but also a process that they can use to develop and
deliver effective messages that include emotion and get decisions.

Agenda:

Day 1 Day 2
Audience-centred messaging Content selection
 Framing your topic  Message development and structure
 he role of evidence  Brain to brain communication – delivery
 Day 1 presentations – developing your launch (5 minutes)  Being an HSE Leader
 Day 2 presentations – (12 minutes)

Preparation
Choose your presentation topic. It can be formal, or simply a conversation between two people. It may be a training event that
you want to be as effective as possible. Importantly, it needs to be about HSE. With HSE communications, if employees don’t
ever hear or remember executive management talking about HSE then they will form a perception about how important HSE is
to the organisation.
Select a topic that you will have to communicate in the coming months that is real and important. Remember that usually, the
toughest people to change are the employees from your own company! Bring relevant information you will need to support
your ideas - survey results, statistics, external articles, models, reference materials, testimonials, case studies, or technical
papers. Existing presentations on your topic may also be useful. You won’t necessarily need a laptop to produce a compelling
presentation, but bring it along in case you decide to use it during the session. We will provide a projector.

What to expect
You will present each day. We will video your presentation for you to review after the workshop. Each person will be given a
memory stick with their video footage on it. We will start promptly at 8:30 each day and finish 5:30pm on day 1 and 5:00pm
on day 2.

Pulse HSE Leadership session for Engineers

Duration: 1.5 days or 1 day if delegate has previously attended a Pulse HSE Leadership session

Target audience:
Engineers and technicians from key design functions and disciplines within the project team.

Purpose & rationale:

Health, safety and environmental protection are the business of all participating parties. It is the leaders who shape the
‘climate’ on a project or team and who have a clear influence on HSE performance in what they say and do, but also in
how they are perceived by their teams and the workforce. These workforce perceptions are a measure of ‘HSE climate’
- a leading indicator of HSE performance.
The purpose of the Pulse HSE Leadership session for Engineers is therefore to assist engineers and team members in the
development of their own leadership towards a maturing of their Engineering Design Capabilities (known to influence
the level of risk workers are exposed to) and to encourage involvement and participation in HSE.
It is proven that commitment and involvement of all leaders involved can make a difference and add value to the
project in collectively addressing, resolving and aligning on HSE issues on the project or team.
Everyone has the potential and the opportunity to be an HSE leader. During this session, then, “leader” as a term is
pertinent and applicable to everyone, regardless of job title or position on the project/team.

Objectives:
The Pulse HSE Leadership Session for Engineers has been designed to achieve the following objectives:
 P romote alignment of the project/team senior management and team members in fully establishing HSE
as a core project/team value
 Understand the level of Design HSE Capability Maturity of Technip in the context of a current project or department
 Highlight the impact team members have on HSE design and enhance the positive impact (and understanding thereof)
of day-to-day project/team members’ behaviours, actions and communications on HSE.
 Discuss project/team challenges and identify team solutions
 Define HSE leadership commitments for the project/team
 Generate pragmatic and achievable leadership actions to meet our objectives and achieve world-class HSE
performance on the project/team
 Prepare ourselves in communicating our commitments and expectations to our teams
 Introduce the Design Capability Maturity Model (DCMM) to measure our organisation’s capability in consistently
safe design

Style & approach

The session takes a workshop format and is interactive and participative throughout. Presentations are brief and serve to
introduce models and concepts and provide information. The session provides an opportunity to become more aware of
individual leadership style, through the use of personality profiles, and its impact.
Outputs:
 List of HSE challenges for the project/team and action plan to resolve them
 Personal HSE commitments for all participants.

Pulse for the Workforce

Duration: 1 day

Target audience:
All workers

Purpose & rationale:

The Pulse for the Workforce training program is based on the relationship between leadership behaviours, worker
perceptions of leadership behaviour and HSE performance. It explores how leadership actions can create a positive
“HSE climate” and directly impact HSE performance. The training introduces specific, practical tools to enable workers
and supervisors to integrate HSE into daily tasks. Everyone has the potential and the opportunity to be an HSE leader.
Pulse for the Workforce provides an opportunity and structure for delegates to consider their own leadership actions
and commitment to HSE. This includes a review of our HSE rules, responsibilities and accountabilities in enforcing HSE
policy. Pulse for the Workforce concludes with a “call to action” for all workers and supervisors to take what they have
learnt out into the field.

Objectives:
Pulse for the Workforce aims to improve HSE performance by focusing on leadership behaviours and aligning
communication and management commitment to HSE. More specifically, it aims to:
 Formulate a common HSE vision
 Generate pragmatic and achievable actions for enhanced HSE performance and attainment of HSE goals and vision
 Explore and develop personal leadership qualities and understand how to apply them specifically to improve
HSE climate and HSE performance in our work area
 Understand the importance of both overt management statements and actions and implicit messages for
enacting HSE as a value (“walking the talk”)
 Prepare for delivering our HSE message to our teams
 Fully understand our role and impact on HSE and the requirement to accept personal responsibility to take
appropriate action

Style & approach

Pulse for the Workforce takes a workshop format and is interactive and participative throughout. Presentations are brief,
introducing models and concepts and providing tools and information on how to deliver the HSE message. There is also an
opportunity to share experiences, provide feedback and practise HSE message delivery.
Key Learning Points (KLPs)
 Effective safety leadership
 Hazard Identification
 Key risk conditions
 Effective Tool Box Talks
 Effective communication
 Intervention and stopping the job
 Discipline and reward (accountability for safety)
 Managing changing conditions
Pulse Program Overview : 20

Pulse for the Office

Duration: 1 day

Target audience:
All office based personnel

Purpose & rationale:

When it comes to Health, Safety and Environmental matters, everyone has the potential and the opportunity to be
a leader. Often “Leadership” is understood to be the responsibility of those in a supervisory role, but this fails to
recognise the significant effect that results from the positive actions of anyone who leads HSE by their example.
The Pulse for the Office Program examines the relationship between leadership behaviours, people’s perceptions of
leadership, and HSE performance. The training explores how the actions of “Leaders of HSE” can create a positive
HSE climate which directly impacts HSE performance. The training introduces specific, practical tools for office based
personnel to integrate HSE into daily tasks and activities.

Objectives:
The overall aim of Pulse for the Office is to improve HSE performance through focusing on and encouraging positive
behaviour, and by empowering delegates with communication tools which they can deploy in their working environment.
The training has been designed to achieve the following objectives:
 Formulate a common vision for Health, Safety and Environment by helping delegates understand their roles and
responsibilities as HSE Leaders.
 Raising awareness with regards to the key at-risk-activities/conditions as applicable to the office environment
 Raising awareness of Health, Safety and Environmental issues relevant to the office environment and the requirement
for diligent observation and reporting
 Encouraging intervention and understanding how to do this effectively
 Understand our responsibilities to ourselves and our colleagues - Accountability for H, S & E
 Generate pragmatic and achievable actions for improving HSE performance

Style & approach

Pulse for the Office takes a workshop format and is interactive and participative throughout. Presentations are brief, introducing
models and concepts and providing tools and information on how to deliver the HSE message. There is also an opportunity to
share experiences, provide feedback and practise HSE message delivery.
Key Learning Points (KLPs)
 Roles and responsibilities as an HSE Leader
 Key at-risk activities/conditions applicable to the office environment
 Awareness of HSE issues in the office - Observation and reporting
 Effective intervention and communication
 Accountability for H, S & E
 Need for ongoing action and follow up
 Pulse Program Overview : 21

Pulse Coaching

Duration:
For the implementation of coaching, a coaching plan will be developed to most effectively meet the needs
and requirements of the project/team. For Pulse Coach training, in additional to core skill and experience
pre-requisites, attendance at a four-day training course is required and post-course work (exam and case study
reports).

Target audience:
Anyone who has participated in a Pulse Program workshop or training course.

Purpose & rationale:

88% of what is learned during a training course is lost if no follow-up is conducted according to CIPD research. Pulse
coaching is therefore being introduced across Technip to ensure the sustainability of the Pulse Program by providing
a targeted and effective follow-up vehicle for the Pulse workshops and training courses. Over 9,000 people have now
participated in Pulse courses and workshops. Key to ensuring that this learning is embedded and acted upon is to have
a structured means of following up on the KLPs, the action plans and the commitments. Coaches will help to sustain
the momentum of the Pulse Program and actively support personnel to demonstrate the HSE attitudes and behaviours
which will create climate change at Technip.

Pulse Coaching goals:

 Ensure that the Pulse Program menu is effectively implemented and followed up by working with Pulse workshop
and training course participants to ensure that learning is embedded and actively applied and actions/personal
commitments are realised
 Actively encourage HSE climate change and the appreciation of HSE as a value through proactive HSE communication
and visible HSE leadership across Technip

Coaching integrated into, and complementary to, current business activities

Coaching is about motivating people to change their HSE attitudes and behaviours and helping to sustain the positive change.
Coaching is Transformational Leadership in action. It will augment and enhance the way we do things by becoming fully
integrating into existing project/team activities. Pulse Coaching is designed to complement the way we work and to enhance
the effectiveness of the Pulse Program and will therefore be effective for everyone who has participated in Pulse. It will also be
effective in encouraging and motivate those who have not yet participated in Pulse and those who require a “refresher” of the
KLPs from courses they have attended.

Pulse Coaches:
The Pulse coaching skill-set will be provided to carefully selected individuals. Pulse Coaches will be selected on the following
key criteria:
 Passion for and knowledge of the Pulse Program and HSE
 Desire to positively impact HSE attitudes and behaviours for lasting HSE climate change at Technip
 In a job/position of influence with the opportunity for regular interaction with the target coaching audience
 Existing skill-set and experience relevant to the target audience – will vary depending on where a coach will be coaching
i.e. onshore, offshore, office, site etc. and the type of coach they will be (Strategic or Pulse@Work).

Pulse Program Overview : 22

Pulse Coaching will be targeted at all levels of personnel and will be structured primarily on two levels:

Pulse Strategic Coaches

Pulse Strategic Coaches will work with management (team leaders, project managers etc.) to assist with the roll-out of the
Pulse Program for a project or team. They will support the planning process to ensure that the correct courses and workshops
from the Pulse menu are attended by the right people, according to their role and level in the company. The Pulse strategic
coaches will support management personnel with the implementation of actions, plans and personal commitments. They will
work closely with the Pulse@Work coaches to ensure that there is a clear line of sight and an aligned coaching approach on a
project/team.

Pulse @ Work Coaches

Pulse@Work Coaches will act as key HSE change agents on the ground. They will integrate coaching skills into their daily jobs
to ensure that the correct attitudes and behaviours become second nature and are fully embedded as the way things are done.
They will follow up directly with Pulse workshop and training course participants to review the learning retained and how well
this is being actively applied. They will also review specific actions and personal commitments undertaken. On a project, for
example, site supervision is most effectively positioned to be Pulse@Work coaches, dependent on their personal skill-set and
experience.

Pulse Coach Training

The Pulse Coach training comprises;
 Initial selection process based on skills and experience and type and level of coaching
 A 4-day intensive training course provided by the Pulse core team and the Pulse SuperCoach
(arranged consecutively or as two slots of two days’ duration)
 Post-course “Pulse in a Pod” work (approx.10hrs of material recorded on an iPod), exam paper and case study reports
Successful completion of all of the above is required for the candidate to receive the Pulse Coach certification.

Pulse Coaching roll out

Pulse Coaching is currently under development. Two pilots are being run in different parts of the business to ensure that the
training is effective and that the application and roll-out approach is refined to meet our business needs in the most impactful
and efficient manner. The roll-out plan and process will be developed using a risk based approach.
