BlueScope Steel Limited | Integrating Human & Organisational Performance (HOP) into Foundational HSE Leadership | Global
Embedding leadership and culture is a continual journey. Through previous worldsteel awards, BlueScope has demonstrated its evolution in Human and Organisational Performance (HOP). From 2019 to 2023 BlueScope undertook various initiatives, including leadership training for the Board, Executive Leadership Team, and front-line leaders, and introduced new concepts such as the HOP Principles, Blackline / Blueline Model, Learning Teams and Better Questions / Stronger Solutions.
This 2024 award builds on the aforementioned strategy to show how these concepts have been embedded into leadership programmes, frontline leader training and risk controls focus-group programmes.
The following three Business Unit-specific programmes exemplify BlueScope’s approach to embedding HOP and associated practices into day-to-day work.
1. 7 Safety Fundamentals – Australia
A programme created to emphasise safety during post-COVID-19 operations, involving key leadership activities around
seven safety topics:
