But the names of the individuals observed in a behavior-based coaching process are never recorded. Behaviors of work groups are examined to identify environmental or system factors that influence behavior. Then we change those factors to improve behaviors. It's only observation and feedback. Behavior-based safety coaching depends on interpersonal observation and feedback in order to succeed.
Management is off the hook.
If you implement behavior-based safety with this idea in mind you're destined for failure. Even an observation and feedback process among work teams will fail without proper management support. And the many other applications of behavior-based safety require managers to be actively involved. What management measures gets done, and what management recognizes and rewards gets done well. Environmental fixes aren't needed.
