MODULE
3: EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT
The big secret:
To be successful, management doesn't necessarily have to spend money to motivate. They do need to spend time to personally acknowledge and express appreciation. As a supervisor, ask yourself, "Do I have time to praise for a job well done"? Of course you do.
It's important, when designing safety incentive and recognition programs to remember that it's not the nature of the reward that is most important: the big secret is recognizing appropriate behavior with in a meaningful way. As we learned in the previous module, we do this by making the recognition soon, certain, significant, and sincere.
