Measure what matters, not what is easy

Measure what matters, not what is easy.

The assumption that you can make a behaviour happen by creating a form to be filled in, handing out said form and auditing its completion...

Is one of the most dangerous practices currently being undertaken in many of today's top organisations.

A practice that is being supported by many safety professionals, leaders and health and safety organisations.

A practice that should be actively discouraged in favour of actively creating the circumstances where the required behaviour (action) happens through regular modelling, coaching and sampling.

Don't confuse the completion of a form for the act that you hoped for. Especially if all you pay attention to is the form.
