Engaging employees through Human Operational Performance (H&OP)
principles increases their involvement in meeting organizational goals
and objectives from tracking and compliance mandates to improved safety
in the workplace. By utilizing EHS software with built-in H&OP
principles, employees are more engaged and better able to make sense of
errors or incidents in the workplace and find solutions to improve upon
them going forward. In doing so, EHS managers and leaders can gain
clear insights into safety leading indicators to boost their safety culture all
while engaging employees into the company fabric. With options for
logging accidents, near misses, and other hazards in addition to
H&OP measures, employees are taking an active role in enhancing
workforce safety.
For example, when an employee has the ability to log incidents in
real-time from their mobile devices, they’re taking an active role in
creating a safer work environment as H&OP principles embedded in the
tools are learned by the employee. As employees become more active and
engaged processes necessary to prevent safety hazards, the
organizational safety culture grows as a result.
