Introduction

Knowing the drivers determining individual behavior, action, and motivation is the key to understanding and managing people. This human performance improvement program delves into our assumptions about human behavior and psychology. Human performance principles guide us in deciphering why people do what they do and how to foster an environment that supports human performance improvement.

People are complex, and many factors, including personal and work-related challenges, can influence their performance at work. From workplace stress and marriage issues to job insecurity, the myriad of potential problems can significantly impact employees' health and performance. Human performance safety training considers these aspects to mitigate the risk and cost to the employer.

Human performance certification programs often include coping strategies for stress, now increasingly prevalent in the workforce, as a core component for enhancing overall workplace wellness and productivity. The amount of employees suffering from stress and stress-related illnesses is rapidly rising. More than half (53%) of people at work have suffered stress in the past 12 months, while one in four people had taken time off sick through stress in the previous year, according to the latest research by the International Stress Management Association.

Applying Human Performance Tools and the Improvement Process

Human performance tools are integral to the human performance improvement process. They are vital for identifying human performance traps and fostering human organizational performance.
