Every Human Factors and Ergonomics professional faces a common challenge: guiding groups through evaluation and redesign while navigating the real-world complexities of the workplace. We ask ourselves: What do I do when I have expertise and a goal, but the situation I’m working in won’t simply yield to a technically correct solution?
While we apply our skills in different ways, we are all practitioners of participatory leadership. We know Participatory Ergonomics works when it actively involves frontline workers and supervisors in identifying hazards and shaping solutions. But how do we design our meetings to genuinely listen to the voice of the worker, foster real collaboration, and result in actionable power to act?
Traditional, structured problem-solving frameworks have been our go-to tools. Yet, if you have ever felt constrained by system pressures—or watched workers improvise an operational workaround that rivals anything we could engineer—you have experienced the reality of work-as-done complexity.
Join us for an upcoming workshop tailored specifically for ergonomic and human factors practitioners.
Move beyond standard checklists and learn how to lead strategic, complexity-informed conversations for working with groups of all sizes, turning everyday operational stories into collaborative, systems-aware design solutions. Secure your spot and elevate how you facilitate change in your organization.
