About
Welcome to The Person Factor.
Hi there, I'm Donna. Welcome to my solo pro business, The Person Factor. I'm stoked that you've stopped by.
This is the place for you if you're a bit fed up with traditional approaches to health and safety. It's definitely the place for you if you've found yourself muttering words I better not publish on my website but am more than comfortable hearing in person. There's got to be a better way to do health and safety right?!
The thing is, health and safety is really about humans, systems of work and decision making.We don't really ever 'do' health and safety here at The Person Factor. What we (you and I working collaboratively) do is make systems of work smarter with way less bureaucracy. We use what we know about human cognition and behaviour to make sure we are designing systems of work that set your people up for success and we make sure that our systems have the right amount of flex to accommodate the shift from Work as Imagined to Work as Done. Strong systems support people to navigate the dynamic nature of their work with confidence and capability.
At the end of the day, it's all about people going home safe to their families. I can help you with that.
Working with Me
I'm obsessed with how people work - how they function and dysfunction in the context of performing a task. The dichotomy of how bloody clever we can be versus how fallible we are in these modern times had me hook, line and sinker from day one of my psychology degree.
My various health and safety roles across aluminium smelting, mining, and utilities has proven to me time and again that clunky processes and poorly designed systems will defeat good people every day of the week. If you are serious about wanting to improve health and safety outcomes for your people then there can't be any sacred cows. We need to be really smart about what we are doing. I've got you.
