There is growing pressure on companies to demonstrate proactive management of organisational culture. CAS expertise helps organisations shape a best practice approach that benefits their business. 

 

The CAS Culture Management Model underpins all our organisational and safety culture work.  It shows the logical relationships between organisational culture, climate and behaviour and performance in the workplace and identifies the main ways of influencing them.   

 

• Define their organisation's culture goals and aspirations.
• Assess staff attitudes and beliefs.
• Specify improvement actions.
• Identify barriers to progress.

OSCA results give organisations a better understanding of their current and desired safety cultures and the gap between them. They define the short term improvements to safety climate that must be dealt with before longer-term challenges can be addressed. They provide a robust evidence base for behavioural safety strategy.

The main feature of the OSCA process is our Safety Culture Survey Questionnaire which is designed specifically for frontline staff. Over 20000 individual responses are held in our database collected over the last four years from infrastructure maintenance companies, train operators and civil engineering firms.  These underpin a range of valuable sector and role benchmarks.

Articles and conference papers by our directors and staff provide further insights to the thinking and experience CAS can offer on organisational and safety culture management.
