"I
first received the solicitation letter last December and showed it to
a friend of mine. We laughed so hard we cried. How could a company guarantee
me they could reduce our recordable workers' compensation injuries by
at least 22%?
"In
the first seven months of the program we saw a 90% reduction in "lost
time" claims from the prior year - 2 instead of 21.
"What
we found out was, although we knew a great deal about workers' compensation,
we knew very little about how to change out employees' behavior. The
key was getting out employees' attention. If we go injury-free for 12
months we will give away over $60,000 in cash and prizes. That got their
attention."
"Thanks
for all your help. I'm not laughing anymore."
