The Carrot vs The Stick | Scratchie Safety Podcast | Episode 2
In this candid discussion, Scratchie founders James and Gary dig into the root problems in construction safety culture. Why does compliance fall short? They explain how incentives can balance the over-reliance on penalties and rules.
Hear how a simple idea - rewarding safe behaviors with scratch cards - evolved into the Scratchie app. Piloted on an iconic Apple store build, the concept sparked a revolution in motivating and engaging workers.
James and Gary also tackle common objections to incentives. Do rewards undermine personal responsibility? Does cash present issues? Tune in for straight talk on transforming safety leadership.
