The document discusses key elements of customer relationship management (CRM). It outlines four cornerstones of CRM: 1) customer knowledge, 2) relationship strategy, 3) communication, and 4) individual value proposition. It emphasizes that CRM requires understanding customers through segmentation, building long-term relationships rather than single transactions, enabling two-way communication across channels, and customizing products, services and prices for each customer. CRM systems can help manage large customer groups but require integrated front-office, mid-office and back-office IT.
1. The STP process involves segmenting customers, targeting specific segments to focus on, and positioning products to occupy a clear place in consumers' minds relative to competitors.
2. Segmentation involves classifying customers into groups based on common characteristics. Targeting selects which segments to enter based on attractiveness. Positioning arranges the product to have a distinctive place in consumers' minds.
3. Effective segmentation requires segments be measurable, accessible, substantial, differential, and actionable. Companies then select targets, develop positioning for each, and create customized marketing mixes.
The document discusses facilitation, outlining that facilitation is an important leadership skill needed to help groups reach consensus. It defines a facilitator as a guide who uses open-ended questions to bring out creativity and insights, develop agreements, and get to the root of disagreements in an objective manner.

1) Commitment from management by defining health and safety policies and setting targets.
2) Assigning responsibilities and ensuring proper job descriptions for health and safety roles.
3) Documenting the health and safety system and ensuring traceability of policies and procedures.
4) Communicating health and safety information internally and externally.
The guide provides fact sheets and examples for each of the 12 areas to help companies of all sizes implement an effective health and safety management system.
The document provides guidance on using an Environmental Management System tool developed by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts in Australia. The tool consists of three modules: guidance notes, a manual, and registers to help office-based organizations implement an environmental management system based on the Australian standard AS/NZS ISO 14001. The guidance notes explain each section of an environmental management system and how to use the templates in the manual and registers to document an organization's system.
This document provides guidance for good practice in occupational health services. It aims to help occupational health professionals improve the quality of their work and better contribute to occupational health objectives. The document discusses topics like the objectives and tasks of occupational health services, workplace surveillance, health surveillance, counseling, and rehabilitation. It also covers managing occupational health services, including planning, ethics, training, competencies, financing, and quality management. The document is intended to help occupational health professionals evaluate their own performance and continuously improve. The overall goal is to enhance workplace health through high quality occupational health services.
The document outlines Monash University's processes for corrective and preventive action according to relevant standards and legislation. It defines key terms and describes the procedures for addressing non-conformances and hazards identified through workplace inspections, audits, incident reporting, and other review activities. Records of corrective actions, inspections, audits, and issues discussed must be kept for five years, while some like hazards and incidents must be kept indefinitely.
This technical manual from The City of Newcastle provides guidelines for managing contaminated land. It outlines procedures for early identification of contaminated sites, assessment of development applications involving contaminated land, and requirements for remediation works. Category 2 remediation works that comply with the site management provisions do not require development consent, but must notify Council 30 days before starting. Provisions address issues like hours of work, soil and water management, noise and dust control.
This document provides guidance for the Bureau of Land Management's land use planning process as required by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. It outlines the basic planning process which involves public participation, assessment, decision-making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The document provides guidance on developing land use plans, implementation plans, compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and addressing new information. It also discusses forms of public involvement, coordination with other agencies and government-to-government coordination with tribes.
This document outlines Afrimat's Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) management system. The system defines Afrimat's approach to ensure legislative compliance, protect employee safety and health, and practice sustainable business. Key elements of the system include establishing SHE roles and responsibilities, conducting hazard identification and risk assessments, developing codes of practice and safe work procedures to mitigate risks, training employees, and engaging in consultation processes. The system is designed to proactively identify and eliminate hazards to prevent incidents and protect stakeholders.

INTRODUCTION
EHSMS
Message from the Managing Director
Santos continually strives to be among the world’s best exploration
and production companies. As a best practice organisation, we are
committed to conducting our business activities in a manner that
ensures we lighten the environmental footprint and that all
employees and contractors go home from work without injury or
illness.
The Santos Environment, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS) outlines the structured approach necessary to ensure our
worldwide operations are conducted in a consistent and systematic manner. The Santos EHSMS is the backbone of our EHS approach that
will enable us to achieve our EHS and process safety objectives in our continual drive for excellence.
I encourage all employees and contractors working with Santos operations to continually strive to improve our company’s EHS performance.

Evolution of the EHSMS
The EHSMS is a dynamic system which is continually being
improved to ensure it is current and aligned with the changing
nature and demands of our business such as our expanding
interest in offshore developments. This revision of the EHSMS
includes the integration of process safety requirements which
now provides a consolidated framework for the management of
process safety related risk. This initiative provides a systematic
approach to process safety that will enable us to further
improve on the reliability and integrity of our plant and
equipment which in turn will support the ongoing improvement
in our EHS performance.
Where can I get a copy of a standard?
The EHSMS standards are document controlled. The controlled
copy of the standards can be found in the EHSMS vault in
TIMS. A link to the EHSMS vault in TIMS is located on the
Santos intranet, “The Well”, Home > Support Services >
Environment Health Safety and Sustainability > Environment
Health and Safety Management System.
The purpose of the Santos Environment, Health and Safety
(EHS) policies is to provide the overall direction for the Santos
Environment Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS).
The policies demonstrate a commitment by Santos to strive for
EHS performance improvement and provide a framework for
setting the overall EHS and process safety objectives against
which Santos’s performance will ultimately be measured.
