The cover story in this month’s issue explains Online Rewards’ history with Fortune 500 client, Yum! Brands. The article covers how Online Rewards helped Yum! improve and maintain a culture of safety with a custom Safety Incentive Program. Yum! operates more than 41,000 Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC restaurants globally. Read an excerpt of the article below:
In the 90s when Mike Keeler was the Global Head of Safety for a company that owned fast food restaurants, he struggled to improve a safety culture plagued by a high turnover rate and difficult-to-execute safety rewards programs. The company had “engineered out” our injuries, said Keeler. “We had to change behavior.” He said the company was trying to improve its safety culture and felt that recognition was important to make it successful. It used cash and pizza parties as rewards for injury-free work. And though it worked initially, it was difficult to execute over time. “We needed something less complicated,” said the trained loss prevention manager.
