There are 4 critical success factors that can help organizations and their people maintain their success.

They are as follows:

1. A healthy, safe and secure place to work
2. Preferred supplier
3. Preferred investment
4. A work environment that helps employees attain their ultimate potential and empowers them for maximum contribution.

It is quite true that "SAFETY" is No. 1 priority and it is always first. Without safety, productivity can easily be compromised and hence will definitely harm all critical success factors, just mentioned above. This can cause a process of "DISORDER" which is contrary to efficiency and effectiveness.

So, it is common practice that most of the people drive daily and it is rare nowadays to find an employee who does not drive. The driving license even is becoming a prerequisite for employment. So driving is imposed on us and therefore we have to accept it, understand its parameters, and to be able to perform it safely.

Defensive Driving Training Workshop is designed to help our employees develop appropriate defensive driving behaviors that help them successfully and peacefully cope with all driving elements they face while they are on the road.

"DEFENSIVE DRIVING" is characterized by: (1) Understanding drivers' behaviors and motives, (2) Understanding traffic rules and regulations, (3) Understanding roads' conditions, (4) Understanding atmosphere and environment, (5) Understanding the vehicle, and (6) By developing the ability and motivation to help our employees implement appropriate driving behavior to safely deal with any situation that may arise, is actually to
