This page highlights my current research projects on advancing knowledge in Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS), Human Organizational Performance (HOP) and Human Performance Improvement (HPI). These studies aim to provide actionable insights into improving safety outcomes, reducing human error, and fostering organizational resilience.
Improving Caregiver Retention and Job Satisfaction through HOP Strategies
Overview:
This research investigates how HOP principles can enhance retention and job satisfaction among caregivers in the home healthcare industry. Given the high turnover rates in this field, the study focuses on identifying systemic weaknesses and implementing HOP strategies to reduce caregiver burnout and improve job satisfaction.
Current Phase:
Literature Review
Research Objectives:
- Identify key factors contributing to caregiver turnover and dissatisfaction.
- Implement HOP strategies to enhance employee well-being and job satisfaction.
- Measure the effectiveness of these interventions in improving retention rates.
Methodology:
- Qualitative and Quantitative Data Collection: Surveys, interviews, and HR data analysis.
- HOP Implementation: Tools like Task Previews and Job-Site Reviews are used to create a safer, more supportive work environment.
- Follow-Up: Post-implementation evaluations through employee feedback and satisfaction surveys.
Expected Outcomes:
- Reduction in turnover.
- Improved job satisfaction metrics.
- Comprehensive recommendations for industry-wide application.
Enhancing Safety and OSHA Compliance through Human Performance Improvement (HPI)
Overview:
This study focuses on the roofing and construction industry, exploring how HPI tools can improve safety, reduce human errors, and enhance OSHA compliance. The research will implement systematic changes to improve safety culture and reduce incident rates in high-risk work environments.
Current Phase:
Research Project Planning
Research Objectives:
- Analyze how HPI principles can minimize errors in high-risk industries.
- Identify the factors that lead to frequent OSHA violations.
- Assess the long-term impact of HPI tools on improving safety and compliance.
Methodology:
- HPI Strategy Implementation: Tools such as Pre-Job Briefings, Self-Checking, and Post-Job Briefing are implemented to enhance operational safety.
- Data Collection: Surveys, safety audits, and employee feedback sessions.
- Statistical Analysis: Pre- and post-implementation data on incident rates and compliance metrics.
Expected Outcomes:
- Reduced OSHA citations and violations.
- Significant reduction in workplace incidents.
- Recommendations for applying HPI in similar high-risk industries.
