It is the human that is in the centre of all operations and business within shipping. Do we optimise the working environment for the people that operate and drive the business forward? We contacted Dr. Cecilia Österman. She is a well-known researcher and lecturer in sustainable working life.

This is the foundation of how you really work as a shipping company and if you have a good company culture that bring the best performance out of your personnel and crew.   

Many companies underestimate how important it is to have a group where you can discuss everything openly and where you can fail safely. If group members trust each other they also dare to speak up when they see that something need to be changed. 

In these kinds of groups members also have the courage to say when they have done something wrong, and that could mean saving the day before an accident occur.
