There are 5 key components to a properly
structured safety
incentive program.
1.
Use more than just a carrot. Use an entire campaign
to promote your program, building teamwork and interaction with
your employees. Build in smaller prizes everyone can win and toss
in grand prize awards that the program builds up to.
2.
Use frequent reinforcement. Establish an award vehicle
that is handed out weekly. This could contain points and a trading
component game cards are a fun approach. Using a flexible
point vehicle to reward/award for weekly prevention behaviors to
discourage under-reporting.
3.
Award merchandise rather than cash.
Give an employee a $20 bill as a reward and where is it spent? At
the grocery store or maybe at the gas station. Will the employee
even remember? Develop a fun game-based program and build trophy
value by offering a choice of merchandise items they want
not need because it simply works better.
4.
Promote the program. Posters, caps, balloons, newsletters,
flyers, parties, and drawings grab their attention dare to
be different, you can't do enough!
5.
Make everyone a winner! But it can cost more, right?
Wrong when you run the numbers, youll find the return
on investment is far greater.
