Supporting organisations to improve human and organisational performance

Transform your organisation's approach to safety

Every organisation and the people within it have extraordinary potential to thrive

The key to tapping into this potential is cultivating environments where we can learn and improve. When we treat people as humans and incorporate system improvements, we achieve better outcomes.

What is HOP?

Human and Organisational Performance – or HOP – is a contemporary perspective on improving work. It’s a fundamental shift in our attitude towards safety and workplace performance. By learning from our workers, we better understand ‘work as done’ instead of ‘work as imagined’. This improves working relationships and enhances safety and organisational performance.

Leading the way

What’s our story?

HOPLAB introduced Human & Organisational Performance (HOP) to Australia and New Zealand in 2017, broadening the conversation around safety with complementary approaches that challenged conventional thinking.

Since then, we've helped organisations embrace approaches to safety, innovation and leadership that focus on understanding how work happens, creating the conditions for greater resilience and performance.

We partner with organisations from diverse industries around the world, guiding frontline leaders and decision-makers to reflect, learn and grow – harnessing the potential within their people.

An excellent course. Understanding the HOP principals was a game changer into how we have approached learning from operations. Highly recommend if you have the chance to attend.

Very well-run course. Becky was a great trainer and very knowledgeable in the area as well as being easy to learn from and interact with. The course content was really good, and I have come away with a lot of great learning and tools to implement within our organisation.

This course was possibly the most engaging, informative and practical course that I have attended for a very long time. We will work to apply the learnings in our workplace.

The program genuinely challenged and changed the way I think about leadership, safety and how we work through difficult problems. I have already found myself applying it in practice, and I am looking forward to continuing that journey.

I really appreciated the way the five HOP Principles were presented, as well as the opportunity to discuss them with the other participants. The pace of the training and the mix of teaching, discussion, and short video clips were excellent. Since I was joining from Poland, it meant staying up through the entire night—but I made it!
