The good news about safety culture is that it's co-created on a daily basis.
So what that means is culture can change.
Now, it changes slowly.
It definitely does not change overnight, but
because think back to that lily and think back to the stem and the roots.
Slowly, over time, our attitudes, our behaviors and
our way of thinking can change.
Again, as I said, it doesn't change overnight.
Nobody's won an argument and
had suddenly somebody go, you know, that's absolutely correct.
I'm going to change my entire life philosophy because of your point.
Sometimes it's a little bit harder,
a little bit slower to digest and accept, but it does happen.
And so because of that, because we can change our behaviors,
because we can slowly in time change their way of thinking,
when new folks come in who have different ways of doing things,
sometimes they completely integrate into our culture.
But sometimes, they bring a fresh perspective,
especially if they are in a leadership position that can
actually get us to think differently about how we approach things.
So, while we see that culture can influence our attitude, behavior and
cognitions.
And those of course affect the outcomes that we've discussed.
We also can see it go up the other way.
Sometimes we see that things didn't go the way that we wanted them to in
a particular event.
And so we automatically modify our behavior to learn from that
experience the next time, and we improve solely over time.
And we find we start to hone in on what's working and what isn't.
And so as we change our behavior,and as our attitudes then slowly change, and
our cognitions and our way of approaching our jobs, and our perspective change,
the culture slowly begin to change.
Again, slowly.
[LAUGH] But if you are interested in trying to change your culture,
it can be done through different interventions.
However with a caveat that our best evidence
is first to use multiple components within an intervention.
So think back to that circle with our feedback and
correction policies, our leadership approaches, our teamwork policies.
