Training lessons to be learnt from airline pilots and crew.
Amazing training lessons can be learnt from pilots on commercial airlines. As an corporate and industrial culture every pilot, before take-off, needs to brief their crew about what to expect.
At the end of each flight, as a rule, they talk about what went right, what went wrong during the flight and what could be done better in the future.
Over all these years this brief and debrief system has reduced errors and made flying safer. And BBC reports that a growing number of UK’s NHS medics think this system should be adapted - to make surgery safer.
As an HR Manager, employer and / or recruiter there is lots to be learnt here. A culture of analysing what to expect before the day begins and what went right and what went wrong and what could be done better in future, can make your organisation become more mishap free as we all know that most of the errors / mishaps are preventable.
Why this needs to be culture and training embedded?
Lots of people in various teams and departments of the large organisations have instilled in them that everything is their decision and responsibility, and for them it is very hard to stop and listen to their junior who might tell them that they are doing something wrong.
Trevor Dale, a retired airline pilot and trainer said: "For airline pilots team work is mandatory and has been for several years. We must do what we call ‘crew management resource training’ and airline pilots can effectively terminate their career if they can’t work effectively in a team.
"In aviation before every take-off and every landing the crew, and sometimes the cabin crew, will discuss what to do if all goes well and how to deal with any unplanned emergencies that can conceivably go wrong."
