MOST REQUESTED TOPIC:
Green Beans & Ice Cream
The Definitive Recipe for Employee Engagement,
Motivation and Recognition
This 60-minute workshop explores the role of
recognition as it relates to changing employee
behavior.
We will focus extensively on the mechanisms needed for
successful behavior-based safety recognition and
consider areas that are often overlooked. During
the seminar, participants will learn about:
- - The pitfalls of using
downstream or trailing indicators: focusing on
accident rates instead of safety successes
- - -The benefits of using upstream
or leading indicators: implementing proactive,
prevention-focused programs
- - The problems associated
with using randomized games of chance & lottery
programs: giving out rewards that aren’t tied to
specific behaviors
The seminar explores the most “popular" recognition
tools in use today and what the latest studies
indicate about their effectiveness for improving job
safety. Be prepared to be surprised as we examine
the pros and cons of:
- - Gift cards and cash
substitutes
- - Travel awards
- - Big ticket giveaways
(cars etc.)
- - Non cash merchandise
awards
Participants will obtain the keys to designing a
program that produces changed behavior without
encouraging injury hiding. We’ll also consider the
causes of injury hiding in detail and how your
company can avoid the “bloody pocket syndrome."
Finally, the seminar addresses recognition for the
middle manager--who is usually left out. We’ll
demonstrate ways to involve the middle managers in
the design and implementation of your program
without “overwhelming" them with yet another job
task.
