Human performance is influenced by numerous factors, and one deserves greater attention today: crew confidence. In this article, Green-Jakobsen highlights the increased need to monitor, discuss, and develop crew confidence levels if we want to enhance human performance.

During the 6th SAFETY4SEA Limassol Forum, Lennart Ripke, Senior Consultant & Commercial Director, Green Jakobsen, focused his presentation on enhancing human performance in the maritime industry.

While traditional leadership is crucial for guiding teams and maintaining control, strengthening collaborative leadership takes performance to the next level. The reason behind this is that collaborative leadership draws on the collective skills, knowledge, and expertise of the entire team.

In the maritime industry, where the environment is often harsh and hierarchical, ensuring the psychological safety of the crew is crucial. But what exactly is psychological safety, and how can you/your company make the best use of it to benefit ship operations and crew well-being?

In this article, Green Jakobsen delves a bit deeper into the specific example of a finding that impacts performance. They also discuss the practical lessons that we can draw from such performance data.

In a 20-year journey of working with shipping organisations all around the globe, what Green-Jakobsen A/S has seen is the striving for safety excellence, an embedded value for many shipping companies.

Human performance may seem vague or constrained to many and is commonly associated with assessments and interventions. However, data suggest that it is possible to look at human performance in more specific ways.

With years of experience, research, and data collection spanning thousands of respondents, Green-Jakobsen can confidently point to factors that heavily influence human performance in a positive or negative direction.
