Dear Safety Professional,
There has been much written over the years regarding whether safety
award programs can produce results. Obviously from our perspective, and
after many years of observation, we emphatically say that they have,
they do and they will, but with some caveats. Following is the first of
a three part article on the subject. Safety incentives will produce
results and we can show you how. If you have any questions on it,
please let us know. Contact Us.

Do Safety Award Programs Really Produce Results?=09
Part I
Many safety managers ask a great question.
"Do safety incentives really produce results?"
There are at least two schools of thought voiced by safety managers:
1. "Tangibly appreciating and recognizing individual behaviors that
improve specific safety performance and outcomes have a measurable and
dramatic impact on the overall safety and financial performance of a
company."
2. "We pay our people to function in a safe manner and get the results
the company wants. They are already paid to work safe."
Before you determine which answer is the right one for your
organization, there are certain aspects you need to consider. These are
founded in the answer to the following key question and the criteria
stated below:
A Key Question:
Does your organization actively measure, analyze and broadcast safety
performance and outcomes in terms of:
=D8 The related costs of workers compensation claims.
=D8 Healthcare costs increases or decreases due to incidents and
accidents.
=D8 The impact on operating expenses due to lost time and added
labor costs.
=D8 Is there a well-communicated and understood correlation between
safety behaviors, performance, and the overall financial performance of
your organization?
=D8 Do all of the individuals in your organization relate their
personal safety behaviors on-the-job and daily performance to the above
four safety issues?
If the answer to the above is YES! You are in a great position to
measurably and expediently improve your safety behaviors, performance,
and related outcomes by implementing a safety incentive program using a
valuable safety appreciation and recognition system like
PerfectSafetyAwards.com. A safety incentive program based on the above
criteria will provide tangible appreciation and results based on
measurable improvements,and these results can be significant!
If the answer to the above is "No," "Not Sure," "Sometimes," "A
Little," or "Maybe," you
might want to consider postponing your award program and start first by
making improvements to items as noted above! And PerfectSafetyAwards.com
can help you do so!
Safety Incentive Programs Go Beyond the Safety Behaviors Addressed by
Basic Compensation!
In numerous studies (please contact us for further information on these
studies) the number one driver that motivates people to excel is
"Appreciation for a job well done!" and "Recognition for making and
taking that extra effort!"
A safety program can be a highly effective performance improvement tool
by answering, addressing, and "Linking" three critical elements in
"Getting the job done!"
1st
Do the individuals clearly understand the defined safety goals and the
impact their safety behaviors have on the required functional and
financial outcomes of the company?
2nd
Do the individuals understand how he / she "links and is connected to"
the defined safety goals and the impact their safety behaviors have on
the required functional and financial outcomes?
3rd
Do they realize and live everyday the fact that their safety behaviors
on-the-job directly effect the ability of the organization to achieve
the defined safety goals and the impact their safety behaviors have on
the required functional and financial outcomes. And, do they
understand how their safety behaviors are critical to their individual
and team's overall well-being and future security?
When this "Linkage" and understanding is clear, your coworkers actively
and aggressively seek ways to continuously improve their safety
behaviors, performance, and company outcomes. Appreciating and tangibly
recognizing your coworkers for doing so is one of The Keys to Improving
and Sustaining Safety Performance and Positive Outcomes for All!
Part II of "Do Safety Award Programs Really Produce Results" Will focus
on what you should recognize and reward in a safety incentive program.
