Don’t underestimate the impact of your reward choices
I have been helping companies implement safety incentive programs for many decades, and one decision that is constantly underappreciated is the selection of specific rewards to use as incentives for safe behavior. Companies can choose from a wide variety of rewards: cash, gift cards, awards/plaques/certificates, special parking spaces, t-shirts and on and on. In case I get stuck, I actually have a book called 1001 Ways to Reward Employees to help me brainstorm for ideas. But the decision is not one to be taken lightly. There are important ramifications of this choice that many companies do not realize.
