Accident free. We've been accident free for a little while now, so management is giving us a reward. A snack. I'm underwhelmed. It's happening on a day that I'm not working, and I can't eat what they're serving anyway.
I have always wondered about the Wal-Mart incentives. If you are accident free, how about a lanyard, extra points on your review, a thank you note? Maybe a nifty shirt that an employee can actually wear to work? As it is, there is more incentive to get hurt. You get to stay home and collect worker's comp. No one outside of your small circle of acquaintances actually knows you got hurt and set the "days without an accident" ticker back to zero.
A large part of the store never attends daily staff meetings, during which safety issues are discussed. Thus, a lot of the staff misses the discussions about warming up, lifting, using ladders, reaching, etc. It would seem that management would take notes about these discussions and post them, or provide copies to the employees who miss them. It's their bonus, and their workplace, too.
