A Customizable Solution to Fuel an Employee Safety Program

Southwest Gas already had two programs through Awardco (service awards and wellness programs), so they knew that our platform could help. After looking into a few other options, they realized that the simplicity of Awardco’s platform, and the ease with which they could build and manage their safety program all in one place, couldn’t get any better.

From the start, Awardco allowed Southwest to custom-create their very own safety recognition program, filling it with courses and training opportunities that fit their employees’ needs and their culture.

And once their program was designed, it was easy to set up in a way that allowed all of their employees to quickly and easily access. Plus, their admins could track participation throughout the program, allowing them to see which courses were the most popular, which were the most effective, and which needed improvement to really hit home.

You may think that none of this matters—employees don’t want to take safety training, no matter how simple or easy the program is, right? Well, Southwest Gas solved that issue as well, with Awardco’s help. 

One of Awardco’s specialties is employee recognition and rewards, and Southwest Gas has taken advantage of that. They make sure to notice and recognize every employee that completes any of the safety courses and training through the program. And as employees are recognized and rewarded for their efforts, other employees take note and get excited about the opportunity.

The package of simple, customizable programs combined with recognition and reward opportunities has allowed Southwest Gas to build a safety-oriented culture from the ground up.
