He knew his
teams didn't WANT to injure themselves; it seemed many of the injuries
were due to carelessness, not paying attention, not listening to
directions, and perhaps unsafe working conditions. The floors were
slippery and the lighting wasn't the greatest.To
improve the safety for his teams, he created a simple incentive
plan to motivate his team members to be a little more cautious and
focus on safety for themselves and their team members. Jason wanted
to decrease the injuries by 75%. Pretty aggressive!
He pulled his
team together to discuss how to meet that goal. They identified
workplace hazards, such as the slippery floors and bad lighting.
They also identified personal mistakes such as not wearing the correct
protective gear, not notifying management of possible hazards, not
looking for potential hazards, etc. Once several factors were discussed,
they decided they would keep track of all injuries for each month
and try to lower them by focusing more on safety at work. If
the teams were able to bring injuries down by 75%, everyone would
receive a new car stereo. His teams were so excited!
After the first
month, they were only able to bring the injuries down by 50%. However,
by the second month, workplace injuries were at an all time low.
They had achieved an 80% reduction in workplace injuries.
Because workplace
safety is a constant problem for teams like Jason's and his program
was so effective, the whole plant adopted his incentive program.
His company now maintains one of the lowest injury percentages in
their industry.
