Collaboration And Long Term Thinking Are The Way Forward - with Teresa Swinton
This week, Colin talks to Teresa Swinton, founder of Paradigm Human Performance, about the importance of long-term thinking, how to better approach the practice of risk profiling, and why collaboration between departments should be normalised in order to better effect safety for all.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It's vital that businesses play the long game, instead of only focussing upon short term gains. Longevity is the key to success.
- Risk profiling helps us to much better understand and ascertain the needs of our business. We must undertake this with diligence and insight.
- Business must learn to break out of their silo behaviour. Different departments need to better communicate and cooperate with each other if we wish the business to run as a more effective whole.
- It is regrettable the that spotlight is only really shone upon safety departments when an accident occurs. Safety should be a perennial, never-ending conversation.
BEST MOMENTS
'There should be longer term approaches taken'
'We don't apply the same standards to health and safety management'
Fixing the worker is the easy option'
'It's looking for the clues which will help you to see what's going to go wrong next'
