Using Incentives to Reduce Injuries and Enrich Your Safety Culture
|
Safety professionals develop incentive and reward programs with the best of intentions. The end goal: To save lives and reduce injuries.
But in the real world, such programs can be so abused they have just the opposite effect. Used incorrectly, incentive programs designed to create a safer workplace end up jeopardizing the very people they should help protect. One common example, workers rewarded for fewer injuries simply stop reporting them. The result: Hazardous conditions aren’t addressed and injuries continue.
Fortunately, there’s a better way. This audio conference will explain why the most common uses of safety incentives do more harm than good -- and will give you concrete examples of how to use incentives and rewards effectively.
The proper use of safety incentives and rewards can increase the occurrence of safe behaviors and reduce at-risk behaviors — as well as boost self-esteem, self-confidence, and a sense of belonging. This audio conference will teach you practical ways to make this happen.
