The virus invaded our homes first, spreading quickly. Let's face it; we had no idea of the viral impact of smartphone and computer technology. I wondered if the same would ever happen to the working world. I said to myself, it would take decades for this modern technology to make it to the safety incentive market.
The tech virus indeed continued its unstoppable path, as we now know. This market is typically slow to change, but not anymore. It started with clients simply rewarding pizza parties for safety compliance and remaining accident-free; then came the cash and gift cards, which worked for awhile. Point programs for merchandise worked too, but started becoming tough to administer. We heard it all over the years: “We want to reduce accidents but don't want all the tracking and administration.”
