What is a “no blame” culture ?
Wikipedia talks about a Just Culture and says: “A just culture is the opposite of a blame culture. A just culture is not the same as a no-blame culture but is a culture where individuals are accountable for their willful misconduct or gross negligence […] In a system of just culture, discipline is linked to inappropriate behavior, rather than harm. This allows for individual accountability and promotes a learning organisation culture”

“Nobody will take accountability for problems if they think they’ll be punished for doing so. Furthermore, learning and problem solving go out the window in workplaces that tolerate blame. Instead of learning from mistakes, blamed employees tend to hide their mistakes”

In view of DHRF’s commitment to support learning, there is a much higher “learning content” in the Research Work Streams & elsewhere than would otherwise be the case… Please be aware of that ↩
