Employee safety is at the core of every company’s operations and a top priority for management. Even in work settings that aren’t typically considered hazardous, risks exist and it’s crucial to have proper occupational health and safety policies in place. Furthermore, it’s necessary for employees to adopt safe behaviours by respecting these guidelines – otherwise, all efforts are futile and remain words in manuals. A great way to make the staff accountable is to create an incentive program. By fostering a rewarding and positive culture surrounding safety, employers can increase the effects of their policies, and by default, protect their employees and reduce the costs and repercussions associated with work-related injuries.

In wanting to truly meet their employees’ needs, management teams must create programs that are pertinent and effective, and gift cards as incentives are the number one choice of the work force.

Nowadays, it’s impossible to increase business revenues without considering consumer trends related to millennials. Representing a large and diversified pool of clients, this generation has important purchasing power.
