Contemporary safety mainly focuses on legal compliance to rules and procedures in the workplace and usually fails to achieve lasting behaviour change or improvement of performance. It relies on conscious decisions.

Only 5 to 10 % of our daily decisions are reflected and consciously taken. For the rest of our decisions, we rely on our sub-/preconscious intelligence. We decide and do the things automatically and in the way we have done it many, many times before: routinely and complacently.

What if we change the things so that we take significantly more advantage out of our sub-/preconscious capabilities?

This is what ConverSafe enables and in a nutshell we call it SELFTY.

SELFTY is a paradigm shift. We perceive the world in a different way and reduce human errors with game-changing and life-changing results. We do not restrict that paradigm to the workplace but apply it 24/7. This increases performance in all our activities, at home, on the road and during work – to an unexpected extent.

SELFTY gives the individual the agency to protect themselves and others around them. And the game changing character is reinforced by the fact that it is SELF-organised and SELF-motivated, in contrast to the enforced top-down approach of contemporary management systems.

Our approach takes account of how adults learn and contribute to their own development. The ConverSafe Program guides participants through the sharing and analysis of personal experiences and enables the building of individual safety/selfty competencies to considerably improve the outcomes of human behaviour.

Key elements of our approach are conversation and storytelling, transferring and transforming knowledge into the individual long-term memories, a strong emotional journey that renounces the slideshows, formalism, certification aspects and paperwork.

SELFTY is not replacing the contemporary safety approach, but it is complementary and providing an exit to the usual dead end; applying more of the same in order to cope with the increasing challenges in a VUCA* world (lack of qualified personnel, increasing performance pressure on individuals, increasing absenteeism and reduced availability due to declared mental or physical illness).

SELFTY is the roof to the unfinished structure today’s organisations are working with.
