EP 749 - Mini - HOP-Lite: When Safety Change is Just Wallpaper
About this episode
Ripped from the headlines of the Rated R Safety Show, this episode takes a hard look at how Human & Organizational Performance (HOP) has been reduced to catchphrases and cosmetic fixes. Jay calls out the “HOP-Lite” approach—where organizations adopt the language of change without the thinking or system redesign to back it up. From muted blame to top-down decision-making dressed up in new jargon, we unpack why fear of real change and the lure of quick wins keep companies stuck in old patterns. If you’re only wallpapering over the cracks, you’re not doing HOP—you’re just making the noise look prettier.
