Interview with Dr. Renate Mayer on safety culture and the ZEBRA-FACTOR

In the 31st edition of Good to KNOW, we talk to Dr. Renate Mayer, occupational safety expert, author and founder of the ZEBRA-FACTOR, about her unusual approach to making safety culture visible and tangible.

Through workshops, plays and her new novel ‘Ausschuss’ (Rejects), she gives a voice to people working in occupational safety. Authentic, creative and inspiring.

In the interview, Dr. Mayer talks about why communication and appreciation are the real drivers of a strong safety culture. Instead of preaching rules, she focuses on dialogue, changing perspectives and emotionality. Because safety should be in the mind and in the heart. Her ZEBRA-FACTOR stands for balance, visibility and the courage to be individual. Qualities that make occupational safety human and alive.
