About the current edition
Practical tools for everyday work.
Human Organizational Performance (HOP) Tools for Individuals introduces individual HOP practices for people working in safety and operations. Todd Jerome Jenkins’s guide includes task previews, self-checking, and three-way communication: practical subjects for readers thinking about how people prepare, check, and coordinate their work.
The individual focus gives this book a distinct place in the professional library. It sits alongside writing about organizational conditions, leadership, investigations, and Learning Teams, while bringing attention to practices a person can consider during an ordinary working day.
Who this book is for
The guide is for people in safety and operations who want an introduction to individual HOP tools. Workers, supervisors, and safety professionals can use the overview to decide whether its focus fits the questions they are bringing to their work.
Perhaps you are thinking about how to prepare for a task, check your understanding, or make a handoff clearer. Begin with a real example from your workplace. A specific task makes it easier to discuss where a practice fits, what conditions support it, and what difficulties remain.
What readers will find inside
The book introduces task previews, self-checking, and three-way communication. Its emphasis is on practices for everyday work, giving readers a way to connect an individual tool with a specific task rather than discuss human performance only in general terms.
Read those individual practices alongside the larger HOP questions. What information, time, tools, and support does the work provide? Which expectations are realistic under actual conditions? An individual practice belongs within that context, and a discussion about a tool can also reveal a question about the surrounding system.
Connect the tools to the wider HOP library
Start with what Human and Organizational Performance means, then explore the five principles of HOP. These articles introduce the larger framework and its implications for everyday work and leadership.
For group learning, read how Learning Teams improve workplace safety and explore the HOP and Learning Teams collection. A Learning Team can examine how a task succeeds and what conditions make it difficult. That offers a useful companion to the book’s individual focus without treating the methods as interchangeable.
The short essay Accountability Without Blame adds a leadership perspective: understanding decisions and examining organizational responsibilities alongside individual ones.
