SOM has published a new Occupational Health Leadership Competency Framework. The framework provides a clear, practical, and aspirational guide to leadership development across the profession.
Aligned with the objectives of the SOM Leadership Academy, the framework aims to:
- Develop leadership and management skills among OH practitioners.
- Foster a pipeline of future leaders through development opportunities.
- Promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in OH leadership.
As part of a wider ambition led by the SOM Leadership Academy, the framework recognises that leadership in OH is not limited to formal roles or titles – it is a shared professional responsibility that emerges across disciplines, sectors, and career stages.
Above all, the framework is a call to action: to recognise and invest in leadership as a core professional capability and to empower the next generation of OH leaders to shape a healthier future for all.
