Organizational Sustaining Systems Evaluation
Assessing the Mechanisms that Drive Safety Practices
Organizational Sustaining Systems communicate what the organization’s leaders value. They focus an organization’s attention, provide consequences and determine the level of resources that other organizational systems receive. Organizational Sustaining Systems directly affect the long-term effectiveness of Safety Enabling Systems-things like hazard recognition and mitigation and skills knowledge and training.
No matter how well they are designed, if Safety Enabling Systems are not supported by Organizational Sustaining Systems, the disconnect will show in poor safety performance.
BST’s Organizational Sustaining Systems Evalution examines four key areas for their role in contributing to or hindering an organization’s safety performance:
- Employee selection and development
- Structure
- Performance management
- Rewards and recognition
Through a combination of individual interviews with senior leaders and focus groups with middle managers and supervisors, BST will obtain-and present to senior management-a comprehensive picture of Organizational Sustaining Systems. Our report will detail how people are recognized in the organization and the importance safety plays into the organization’s structure, employee development and performance management systems.
Equipped with this objective, comprehensive assessment, your senior executives will be able to move forward quickly with action plans that correct deficiencies and leverage strengths.
