    How culture can save lives

    In the NHS, improving workplace culture is vital to providing a safe environment for patients. If staff are too scared to speak up when something goes wrong, it can endanger the lives of people in their care. That's why culture is so important to the Health Services Safety Investigations Body, who are brought in when there are concerns about patient safety. Their interim Chief Executive Dr Rosie Benneyworth tells us why investing in patient safety saves lives – and ultimately saves money. Rosie is in conversation with Caroline Kenyon.  Find out more about the Health Services Safety Investigations Body: https://www.hssib.org.uk/ Useful links: www.rachaelskews.com The Coaching UnpACT Podcast https://www.coachingunpact.com/with Hazel Anderson-Turner and Rachael Skews

    Taking a human factors approach to reset culture

    When something goes badly wrong in an organisation, human factors are often identified as the cause.  When things work well it can be because human factors – or ergonomics as the science is also known – have been considered in the planning.  In this episode we hear how human factors are being applied in the NHS, from setting up a new service to planning a new hospital; and how a human factors approach helps to build a healthy workplace culture. Our guest is Fran Ives of Health Innovation West Midlands, who is the President Elect of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors. Fran is in conversation with Caroline Kenyon.

    How history shapes a culture

    The vision of one person led to a nation-wide business success which still reflects its founder’s values, 65 years later. Engineering consultancy Curtins started in the home of founder Bill Curtin and now has 14 offices around the UK and Ireland.  Curtins' Director of Engagement and Culture Rhiannon Carss explains how Bill’s socialist approach to supporting disadvantaged communities ultimately led the business to becoming employee-owned. The company is also a member of the Purpose Coalition, a network of organisations who are committed to breaking down barriers to opportunity, chaired by former Secretary of State for Education Justine Greening.

    Anti racism as the antidote to a hidden pandemic

    Evidence shows that where structural racism exists, there is a ripple effect of harm that spreads across social groups, patients, staff, communities, populations and organisations. In the words of our Culture Reset guest Taira Shaffi, tackling racism should be managed in the same way we manage any clinical incident, zero event or harm in healthcare – with the same rigour, attention and momentum. Taira is Associate Director of Organisational Design and Development for NHS Cheshire and Merseyside; she was in conversation with hosts Caroline Kenyon and Juliette Kumar.
