Organisational Just Culture Training

This training is designed to provide railway organisations with an approach to just culture that can be implemented in daily operations.

About

In high-risk industries like rail, just culture is directly related to safe performance and employee wellbeing. That’s why we designed the Organisational Just Culture Training, meant to help companies build a corporate culture based on trust, openness and fairness. By participating, you will learn to align already existing organisational activities in a direction of a learning culture where incidents are treated fairly and analysed from a system perspective. 

Through discussions on real-life examples, and customised action planning, you will be preparing to contribute to the development of a positive working atmosphere where you and your colleagues are encouraged to speak up and report issues.

Testimonials

The training consists of six well-structured modules, and a case study used as an example throughout the training. I experienced it as a very interactive training between the instructors and the participants. It goes beyond the pure explanation of what just culture is and it goes beyond traditional approaches to error management.

What I most liked are the real and practical examples provided by the trainers as well as from participants. It is worth talking about hard episodes and developing on top of them.

The very lively structure made it entertaining and interesting at the same time. I will consider more the communication part in implementing new procedures. I got aware of my own biases and how quickly one applies them.

What I liked the most about this training, apart from the content, is the way Fabrizio and Kim taught it, very dynamic and participative.
