Employee Recognition & Engagement Resources

Workplace safety unites the interests of employers and employees, as no one wants to see injuries or lost time from preventable incidents on the job. A properly structured Safety Incentive Program not only decreases injuries and lost time, it also works to increase productivity and overall employee satisfaction. Let’s take a closer look at the statistics behind ladder incidents in construction.

Do you ever find yourself asking how you can help increase employee engagement and create a safe environment? One of the most effective means of accomplishing this is through a points-based safety incentive program designed with measurable rules to engage your employees and reward them with points they can redeem for desirable merchandise. When coupled with a comprehensive Safegagement strategy, this program helps create a culture of recognition and boosts morale in the workplace.

This type of employee recognition program has proven time and again how effective it can be to ensure proper actions among employees. David Michaels, Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA said, “A positive incentive program encourages or rewards workers for reporting injuries, illnesses, near-misses, or hazards; and/or recognizes, rewards, and thereby encourages worker involvement in the safety and health management system. Such an incentive program can be a good thing and an acceptable part of a (VPP) quality safety and health system.”
