Session Summary

Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) is a risk-based operating philosophy that recognizes that error is part of the human condition and that employee actions and their likelihood of success is greatly influenced by organizational processes and systems. HOP is a key part of the renaissance underway in H&S and is a critical component of fatal and serious incident prevention. HOP focuses on enhancing organizational processes and systems to better recognize and address risk through an understanding of the human element. Unfortunately, ergonomics and human factors professionals have not always been included and actively engaged in their company's HOP deployment and integration efforts despite having unique, critical expertise in this area. This session will introduce several core concepts and principles of HOP, discuss how and why companies have embarked on their HOP journeys, and challenge the ergonomics and human factors communities to become more involved in HOP.

Building a successful ergonomics program can be very daunting. Sustaining that success over time can be even more daunting. This dynamic session focuses on both understanding the journey for building a successfully integrated process and sustaining that success long term. We will cover the maturity levels of developing processes and where your program fits. We will discuss who your stakeholders are, both internal and external, and what they must bring to the table that will help drive initial and continued success. You will also learn why metrics are critical to your process’s success, how leading and lagging metrics are the key to beginning and supporting the process, and where to find them. You will also learn about integrating health and wellbeing initiatives into your ergonomics process to enhance and drive employee engagement and Total Worker Health (TWH). Finally, you will see how this all comes together through case studies using the principles learned earlier to achieve success at City Light and yours.
