Gambling with Gift Cards:
The Dos and Don’ts of Behavior-Based Safety Initiatives

When HR resources are scarce, and you’re doing more (a lot more!) with less, are you sure that contests and giveaways are the right incentives to create long-term behavior improvement in your safety culture?

It’s time to take a realistic and educated look at what motivates employees—and what creates lasting improvement in your S, H & E culture, your productivity, AND your bottom line.

It’s not just about the games. The short-term excitement and anticipation these programs create are important pieces in the whole picture.

But if you’re using them as the main part (or the only part) of your incentives program, then you’re not only missing out on more rewarding ways to motivate your employees—you could be doing irreparable damage and actually de-motivating your employees.

If your incentives program isn’t creating lasting change and continuous improvements, you’re wasting your money and time. This comprehensive and challenging accredited HR motivation and recognition training takes you through many different behavior-based programs and how to use them so you can actually see the ROI.

You’ll get an in-depth look at the pros and cons of several recognition programs, including downstream, trailing indicators-upstream, leading indicators, and randomized games of chance and drawing programs.

And then you’ll learn how to gauge if a program is right for you before you implement it. Discover how applying different incentive programs under different circumstances determines how much benefit you get. Examine the root causes of injury hiding and how they relate to incentives and recognition—and how this problem can destroy your safety culture in the long run.

It’s time to focus on the mechanisms that create truly successful behavior-based safety recognition and on areas that are often overlooked—like recognition of the middle-manager, who is often left out. Sign up today for this HR motivation and recognition training audio conference—and start getting real returns from all those gift cards and prizes.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize how your reward strategies change when looking at trailing indicators versus leading indicators.
• Keep the abuse and the favoritism out of behavior-based recognition methods.
• Identify and avoid the root causes of injury hiding and under-reporting.
• Convince upper management that recognition and performance incentives are tools for making substantial improvements in performance.
