Why CSG?
Saving Fire Service Careers since 2006
Almost every week we learn of firefighters and chiefs losing their jobs, facing lawsuits, and coming under incredible public scrutiny because of harassing and discriminatory behavior in our fire stations. It is our experience that the cause of the problem is culture and it’s not getting fixed by online computer training and/or traditional HR training methods.
The average lawsuit will cost the agency tens of thousands in internal costs to defend, possibly hundreds of thousands in damages if the agency loses a case and a generation to heal the morale. However, it is our experience that the agency that never has the “Administrative Near Miss” will save time, money; and, more importantly, preserve morale and operational effectiveness. At Career Survival Group (CSG), we’ve developed a series of presentations that are tailored specifically to the fire service culture and has been very successful in moving fire station cultures significantly closer to a culture of compliance and inclusiveness.
