Boards should assess their organisation's culture and align it with strategic objectives

Boards assess organisational culture

Full Recommendation Text

Regulators, dutyholders, and their supply chain companies should specify 'organisational culture' as a risk at Board level and implement the ownership, management, and monitoring needed to drive the cultural behaviours to deliver strategic objectives safely and efficiently. This should include, but not be limited to safety culture, using the ONR NISCI.

Boards might apply a mixture of leading and lagging indicators, updated quarterly, with actions including a periodic independent culture assessment, and development of interventions to ensure leaders, the workforce, and supply chain companies understand and are recognised for positive cultural behaviours.
