                                                         Background

High Performance/High Integrity Workplaces

are based upon development in the Quality of 3 Relationships
that are experienced by each Person in a work organization:

  i)     the relationship between each Person (P) and their Employer (E);
  ii)    the relationship between each Person (P) and other People (P) at work; and,
  iii)   the relationship between each Person (P) and their Role (R)
            or 'job' in the work of the organization.
    

These 3 relationships are also inter-dependent. This is a reflection of the reality that any given work organization functions as a "socio-technical system" (STS). All forms of work organization depend upon two inter-related parts—the 'technical' – the software and/or hardware performing operations on things or information – and the 'social' – how people interact and work with this technology to yield a product or service. Socio-Technical System (STS) Design focuses upon development of key practices in which the 'social' and 'technical' parts -- and thereby, the needs of people, the technology and the business of the organization -  are "jointly optimized".

          

These key practices are, together, the 'building blocks' of a Quality Workplace that achieves High Performance with High Integrity.
