Safety Incentives: Motivating Employees to Behave Safely and Report Appropriately
Safety Incentives Webinar Recording
In theory, safety incentive programs are a great idea – you give workers rewards for staying safe on the job. Proper motivation = better behavior, right? Yet many safety managers find that their incentive programs seem to bring about only small improvements.
Even worse, there’s always the risk that your program could actually be discouraging reporting. Could your workers be keeping quiet on small incidents and near-misses in order to earn their incentives?
Join us for an in-depth webinar that will explain how to strike the right balance and set up a safety incentive program that will reward safe behavior, encourage full reporting, and decrease your costs, injuries, and lawsuit risks.
You and your colleagues will learn:
- How to evaluate your safety culture and recognize the areas you need to work on
- What motivates workers - and how to move closer to a culture of self-motivation
- How to reward employees for adopting a new safety attitude
- What you need to say to senior management to get buy-in
- How to report progress, meet milestones, and prove significant ROI.
- How to design and implement safety incentive programs that do not encourage underreporting
- How to be proactive and reward safety observations, suggestions, and best practices
- A case study on the key steps to engaging a workforce that takes responsibility for safety on the job
- How to sustain big cultural changes, like a true focus on safety, over the long haul
- What to do about managers who encourage productivity at the expense of safety
