By Jeanie Casison
Michael C. Fina, a provider of reward and recognition solutions with headquarters in New York City, recently announced the launch of a Safety Recognition Program for the workplace.
A new addition to the Michael C. Fina One Source Total Recognition suite of products, the Web-based workplace Safety Recognition Program focuses on the use of recognition and non-cash awards to reinforce companies' safety goals. The turnkey solution can be used for peer-to-peer nomination programs, a point-based system and other initiatives. UPS, J.B. Hunt, Penske and WIKA Instrument Corporation are just a few of the companies that have turned to Michael C. Fina for assistance with their safety programs.
Apparently there is good reason to care about the welfare of workers. "By increasing workplace safety you decrease costs associated with accidents and injuries," says Michael A. Fina, vice president and owner of Michael C. Fina. "The purpose of this type of reward and recognition program is to drive safer work in organizations that will, number one, get everyone home safe at the end of the day; and number two, that will drive savings to a corporation. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration also agrees that employee recognition establishes a culture in which employees of the company help promote safety procedures and safe work while on the job."
While all companies can benefit from being safe, the Michael C. Fina Safety Recognition Program is particularly suited to industries such as transportation, manufacturing, health care and construction.
