Behaviour Alignment Process
Why your organisation needs a Behaviour Alignment Process
It is the organisation's responsibility to ensure that they provide and maintain as far as reasonably practical, a safe work environment that is safe and without risk to the health of employees. This legal requirement force organisations to put systems, policies and procedures in place that will ensure the health and safety of the employees as far as reasonably practical. This is however not enough, and therefore many organisations find that employees still get injured and make accidents irrespective of the systems, policies and procedures implemented.

do we really need it?
Every organisation needs a Behaviour Alignment Process or similar to reach their objectives and to be truly successful. Focus on behaviour is the only way any organisation will reach zero harm and have a workforce that will behave in line with the organisation's vision and objectives. Without a Behaviour Alignment Process or similar organisations will always be at risk, since employees may decide not to comply or conform.
is it a quick fix for employees' non-conformance ?
No, it is not a quick fix, but it is a lasting solution, however it takes time. Quick results will be visible for low hanging fruits however it may take some time to observe significant results but it will gain momentum as time goes by.
does it only improve the organisation's safety performance ?
No! The Behaviour Alignment Process implements behavioural principles that can be used at work or at home and it will address all non-compliant behaviour whether it is related to productivity, quality or safety.
Is success GUARANTEED ?
Unfortunately, the success depends on the buy in of all the role players in the organisation. In organisations where management was committed to the process and ensured that all role players participated in the process activities, incredible successes were experienced.
Process implementations did fail however due to uncommitted management teams that were not willing to take action and only paid lip service.

How does it influence current systems, policies, procedure or initiatives ?
The Behaviour Alignment Process is an add-on process and nothing in terms of the organisations current systems, policies, procedures and initiatives have to change. If anything, the process will enhance them and will point out the weaknesses in them if they exist.
