People Based Auditing

Various certification bodies conduct ISO 9001 audits. What makes DEKRA unique? Our audit process always considers the human factor because experience has taught us how vital people are to the implementation of processes, systems and working methods. We call our approach People Based Auditing. A method that has been highly appreciated by our certificate holders for many years. It is now a standard part within audits where behaviour and awareness of employees play a role, such as in ISO 9001 accreditation.

In this way, we work with you to go one step further than the standard ISO 9001 requirements. You discover whether your organisational culture is aligned to the processes required. Human behaviour is the determining factor for success and People Based Auditing gives you an insight into this factor. This will make the quality management system come to life (even more) within your organisation and among your employees.
