One of Safe365’s clients, Auckland Council in New Zealand—the largest local authority in the southern hemisphere, implemented the Safe365 solution to diagnose strengths and areas needing improvement across 52 individual business units.

Safe365 provided Auckland Council with dashboards that empowered their health and safety team to develop and implement a work plan to support their complex organizational structure. At the executive and governance level, the Auckland Council’s C-suite and elected officials gained visibility into the areas of improvement and could monitor progress as part of their ongoing due diligence and safety leadership role.
