Steve Greer Overview:
Human errors can create significant losses and compliance risk for an organization. Many organizations struggle to create a culture and put the tools and systems in place needed to systemically drive down and eliminate human error. Leaders focus on fixing people rather than the systems that led to the failures.This webinar focuses on proven ways to redefine human error, and the systems needed to prevent it. We will cover keys to success in how to organize, execute, and follow-up on human error quality deviations based on demonstrated success in remediating a site that received an FDA Warning Letter making it a model for the company and industry overall. This is a practical webinar covering actionable takeaways to help you succeed.

To err is human, but why do humans keep making mistakes? Why can’t people just do their jobs correctly?
