For years, organizational leaders have used incentives to try and motivate safety. The rationale is that providing financial rewards for not getting hurt will motivate employees to “try harder” for safety.  In reality, this often encourages non-reporting which is why OSHA now discourages outcome-based incentives. Plus, people are already motivated to avoid injury.  Effective incentives, if used, should focus on proactive safety behaviors and efforts.  ​Rewards should be symbolic and safety themed.  Genuine appreciation and recognition trump all other incentives.   Take the quiz below to see how well you’re managing safety incentives.  Please take a moment to try our free quiz: https://www.humanperformanceleader.com/ About the guest: For more than 20 years, Josh has partnered with clients around the world to deliver customized, sustainable solutions to improve safety culture and prevent SIFs.
