Improve Human Performance in 3 Easy Steps
How to Improve Human Performance
The picture above is from 1927. It represents what was acceptable human performance in 1927 (almost 100 years ago). But this may not be acceptable human performance today. Your management may want fewer human errors, fewer industrial accidents, and improved operating and environmental performance.
If human performance at your facility lags behind what your management thinks is acceptable, you may need to improve human performance. But how do you improve human performance? With a human performance improvement program! Change your human performance improvement techniques from those used in the last century to modern techniques you should apply today.
I developed my first human performance improvement program back in 1985. It’s an interesting story of how I came to do that, but … that story is for another time. The point of this post is to discuss how YOU can develop your company’s human performance improvement program using techniques that work.
What Do YOU Need To Know About Human Performance Improvement?
Before you start developing a human performance improvement program, you should probably know something about human error. There is a whole field of study about this called human factors or ergonomics.
When I started designing my first human performance improvement program, I had just finished my Master’s Degree with an emphasis on Human Factors. Also. I had just left the Nuclear Navy with extensive experience in high-reliability operations. Therefore, I had a pretty good background to develop a program. But I wasn’t yet a Certified Ergonomist. That came a few years later when they established the first certification program, and I became the 85th person in the world to gain certification.
You probably don’t have time to get a Human Factors Master’s Degree or spend seven years in the Nuclear Navy to get a background in high-reliability operations. What should you do? I would recommend:
- Get as much information as you can about human factors.
- Review other human error reduction/human performance improvement programs.
- Review the large variety of human error reduction techniques being taught to understand how they work and their human factors basis.
- Get feedback or test how the various human performance improvement tools work.
That’s a good list. But do you have time to do it?
