I will use this strategy when presenting information pertaining to benefits. Seminars related to this can become boring and overwhelming to listeners but if they knew that there's an award presented to the employee who gains the most knowledge will become a well deserved presentation.

The company I work with has recently started using an incentive for work comp claims. This incentive was used by a company where I worked before so I thought maybe we could give it a shot here. Work claims were through the roof and unfortunately things were not changing. We started playing "SAFETY BINGO". On pay day, a bingo card is placed on the employees' pay stubs, then every Friday, two bingo numbers are drawn. The first employee to get a bingo, receives $25.00. There is a catch though, the first time there is a work comp claim, the game stops. A new game will begin when the claim is resolved. Amazingly, we have been playing the game for three months now and only 1 claim has been turned in! The employees are having fun with it and so am I! Good idea!

Then through out the meeting when anyone ask a question, I will throw out a stress ball. The employees love it and it gets them asking questions about thier benefits.

We started this practice a couple of years ago with our benefit fair. We developed a quiz that had common questions linked to the vendors that attended our fair. We passed out the quiz at the HR table and told employee's that the answers could all be found by going to each vendors' table. The vendors love it because they get interaction they wouldn't normally have had and the employees love it because it is a game. Each completed entry was then dropped in a box and prizes were drawn at the end of the day. Our prizes were things such as logo wear and gift cards.
