Human Error Reduction and Human Performance Enhancement on a Global Scale - Performance Improvement Professionals Unite

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Efforts to improve safety culture, quality, reliability, productivity, and profitability are virtually all converging upon the ultimate frontier of performance - human performance.  A not-for-profit association now exists that is bringing the brightest minds from academia, research, organizational leadership, and front line practitioners together to accelerate everyone's journey to the "next level."

"The concept," offered Tim Autrey, inaugural Executive Director of the newly-formed Human Performance Association (HPA), "is to create a global mastermind of intellect and practice in the best of science, research, and tangible in-field results, and to make this information available to all who are interested in taking performance to the next level."

The HPA provides online and conference-setting information, education, training, and resource materials for its members and member organizations in the fields of human performance and human error reduction.  The Association offers the professional certifications of HPC (Human Performance Certified) and HPM (Human Performance Master) to those members who apply, meet the requirements, and pass the examination.  In addition, the Association will be offering Organizational Accreditation to member companies who meet or exceed the criteria set forth in the associated HPA Benchmarking Guidelines. 

"There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come," added Autrey.  "Together, members of the Association around the globe now have the opportunity to rapidly accelerate the performance improvement journey, achieving sustainable levels of engagement, worker accountability, and results never before thought possible."

The Human Performance Association is now open for membership, and is currently accepting applications for Charter Members- those who want to acquire ground-floor insight and help chart the course for the future of human performance enhancement.

The Human Performance Association, Inc. (http://www.hpaweb.org) is a not-for-profit professional association, whose members are dedicated to changing the global conversation on human performance.  Through development, education, professional certification, and organizational accreditation, the HPA is advancing the science, implementation and outcomes of next-level human performance and high reliability across all sectors and industries.
