Historically, organizations tend to be punitive and focused on who to blame when an unwanted event occurs. Investigations can begin with the intent to blame and discipline which leads to adversarial relationships between management and employees. Organizations also tend to be very outcome biased – the more the incident cost, either in time or money, the more likely punishment of employees will occur.
However, the way that companies treat their employees is evolving, and with a just culture, leadership makes a commitment to their employees to treat them with consistent fairness.
