The Society furthers serious consideration of knowledge about the assignment of appropriate functions for humans and machines, whether people serve as operators, maintainers, or users in the system. And, it advocates systematic use of such knowledge to achieve compatibility in the design of interactive systems of people, machines, and environments to ensure their effectiveness, safety, and ease of performance.

The Society was founded in 1957 as the Human Factors Society of America. Its 4,800 members worldwide are psychologists, engineers, designers, and scientists with a common interest in designing systems, tools, consumer products, and equipment to be safe and effective for the people who operate and maintain them.
