Effective Safety Incentive Programs: Dos and Don’ts
In 2014, nearly 3 million cases were recorded of nonfatal injuries and illnesses in the United States. That in turn, added up to more than 900,000 days of work missed.
Safety has become priority number one at many companies. But getting employees to adhere to safety programs and regulations is not always easy.
Having the right safety incentive plan in place can help to motivate employees to get engaged in the types of protocols, procedures, and precautions necessary to make for a safer work environment.
Motivating Your Sales Team with Rewards
While motivating your sales team can be a difficult task, it’s a crucial factor in the overall success of your organization. Highly motivated sales professionals are more engaged with their work and have lower levels of absenteeism. They also help your business thrive by both acquiring and maintaining loyal and recurrent clients or customers.
Engaging Employees with Safety Incentives
Employee safety and wellness are fast becoming a top priority for organizations. In a given year, companies spend over $170 billion in costs associated with occupational injuries and illnesses. To reduce these costs, and to keep employees engaged and healthy, you need a successful safety incentives program, but that will not create itself. Employees do not just see a safety program and buy in 100% for an indefinite amount of time. Employees need to be incentivized to engage in the programs that you are putting out there for their, and your, benefit.
The Evolution of Gift Cards
It all started with paper gift certificates. These certificates were given to employees, customers, and partners for meeting goals, recognition on a job well-done, or just as a simple thank you. Gift certificates were often mailed and could take weeks to reach their recipients.
