I’ve been HSE with my current company for about 8.5 years, but with the company over 13 years in different capacities, I’ve moved from advisor to supervisor to manager within the HSE department overseeing an HSE team of admin, advisors and coordinators. I was approached by an industry competitor offering me a position as a division HSE manager, initially the pay offered was more and looked to be less responsibility (so less stress) so it was appealing.
My company recently counter offered after I put in my notice for a corporate level position for more money. We are a smaller company and are more so would be establishing this corporate safety level so I don’t have a lot of frame work to go off of. I am open to that and love making things my own but wondering if anyone has guidance on either courses, or books or other information ideas that would help me to be able to bring more to the table for this move?

I put my resignation at a company because of cultural issues and being overworked. I was there for 13+ years and really was upset about the leave but thought it was best for my mental health and had accepted a different offer hoping it’ll give more work life balance. I got a counter offer to stay with the promise of restructuring and changes while still being realistic which I appreciate and more money and I had multiple owners phone me saying that they’re dedicated to making my situation better. A piece of me really REALLY wants to stay but I keep hearing from others that it’s lip service and they’ll never change. Has anyone been in a similar situation and decided to stay and it turned out working out well
