Workplace Safety Incentives Since 1991
Based on much of the information at this website or from our Introductory Video, it would appear that Safety Pays is designed primarily for on-site workers or employers who are all together in one location. This is far from the case. Over the years, we've developed dozens different configurations of Safety Pays which can apply to virtually all workplace scenarios.
For companies which have only a limited number of employees at multiple locations or working on their own (ie. janitorial services, parking lot operators, long-haul drivers, construction and installation crews, temp agency employees, etc.), we've designed a Safety Pays program which we refer to as our "FIELD EMPLOYEE" approach.
The FIELD EMPLOYEE approach is our program configuration that links people together under one program who are otherwise spread out among different locations. Let's compare the standard program configuration to the FIELD EMPLOYEE design:
"Standard" Program Application: The guiding principle behind the Safety Pays approach to motivating workers is to target the incentives at a specific group of individuals who either have a regular working interaction together, or some sense of job identification with one another.
In doing so, the program will create a sense of group empowerment to have a strong positive influence on individual behavior through making disloyal or careless acts socially unacceptable. In a working situation where there are a number of employees regularly working together at a specific location, the "standard" program application would apply.
So long as the employees at that facility continue to avoid accidents and injuries, individuals from the group will regularly (approximately once per month) win a progressive incentive jackpot. This jackpot will start at a base of $25 and grow by one dollar each workday with a maximum available jackpot ranging from $150.00 - $250.
Should any employee from a specific program group suffer an injury, the jackpot for that entire group will be immediately reduced back to its base of $25.00. In addition, bonus dollar values will be provided to those employees who provide the best safety suggestions during each game round. Those employees will be awarded bonus cards which they must win the game with in order to receive the bonus dollars values available to them.
"Field Employee" Approach: Obviously, when a company is comprised of various worksites which have only a limited number of employees at each, it would be illogical to implement a program to apply to the employees at that one site only.
Therefore, the " FIELD EMPLOYEE " approach combines employees together, usually by district or region, but however it best works for your company with the idea that a total of 50 or so workers will be on one game together.
So, regardless of what location an employee works, he/she will be participating as a member of the game to which his location is assigned. The mechanics of doing so are relatively simple.
The FIELD EMPLOYEE approach would attempt to follow a company's organizational set-up. Therefore, we would attempt to combine the several sites (or grouping field employees working by themselves) together under a single program application.
In the case where a company's employees work together at remote sites with only a few at each, a separate edition of the program's Master Game Board would be installed for all the employees at that specific location to see and follow the game's progress. This game board would be updated with the program's daily information by an appointed individual at each location.
However, for companies whose employees either work solo or out-of-doors, we provide a special disposable version of the Master Game Board referred to as a Master Game Sheet.
The normal way the daily draw would be conducted is to have a supervisor do the drawing from one of the locations and then communicate the pick to the other sites. In the case of companies where the employees work alone in the field, the daily bingo number is drawn at the corporate office and communicated via text, pager or whatever form of communication is used.
