Discover what makes a safety incentive program
work for your business...and its employees.

What incentives will work for your company?
It’s a powerful question but may not be the most important one. Those new to incentive programs too easily focus on what kinds of incentives to offer. The more critical questions start with “how.”

• How do we set goals for our incentive program?
• How can we get the most bang for our incentives buck?
• How can we sustain the incentive program?

These questions reveal the processes that drive successful incentive programs. Though the programs themselves differ widely in details, their underlying dynamics are surprisingly consistent. The answers to these questions also help managers choose incentives that actually change employee behavior.

How To Establish Incentive Program Goals
The obvious purpose of incentive programs is to raise safety performance and awareness. With that overall goal, employees can receive incentives based on a variety of criteria:

• days without recordable incidents
• reporting near-miss incidents
• months without lost-time injuries
• making safety suggestions
• decreases in workers-compensation claims

A successful program could reach any of these goals, each with a different impact on a company's bottom line. Keep both change and maintenance in mind. Some companies want to cut losses due to injuries and illnesses, while others aim to maintain safety records that are already excellent.
