Case Study
Organisations invest considerable time and effort to observe and learn about how work is being undertaken, in order to improve safe work outcomes. This combined effort, involving leaders, workers, Health and Safety practitioners, other functional specialists and administrative support can be broadly described as Work Interactions. The collective noun Work Interaction is intentionally used to capture a range of practices that aim to promote engagement, learning and behavioural and organisational change.
