Two Truths for Creating Most Effective Safety-Incentive Program






When your objective is to establish a safety culture that rewards active involvement by all employees in the effective execution of safety related practices, keep your safety awards simple.  Two truths about safety incentives will help you do just that.

A small, positive, immediate consequence has more impact on behavior than a large, future and uncertain one. By consistently and continuously reinforcing behavior change with small amounts of awards, you will change behavior

People do things for their own reasons and needs – not yours.  If you want to motivate change, then offer awards that appeal to those needs.  Within reason, let them have what they want, not what you think they want and not what you want them to have.

When you keep it simple you can achieve sustainable operational improvement in safety, environment, health and wellness and subsequently reduce costs.

Many companies are finding that gift card award systems are ideally suited to these small consistent types of awards because they are easy to administer, provide tremendous choice and are very cost effective.
