Motivating the Workforce: The Value of External Health and Safety Awards
暂无分享,去创建一个
This paper considers the prevalence and use of external health and safety awards by companies in the United Kingdom. A review is provided of the types of award schemes currently available. The results from two small research projects present data on the benefits that motivate participation in these awards. The results demonstrate that award schemes are used to motivate the workforce, and a comparison is made with company incentive schemes. However, there are a number of further benefits that can be identified. These benefits may have commercial implications, and include improved opportunities in the competitive tendering process and strengthening of community relations. Benefits may also include positive feedback for the health and safety professional that could lead to acknowledgement by senior management of their contribution to the health and safety performance in the organization.
