Case Studies FromThe Industry

A healthcare-industry company wanted to
recognize staff members for their efforts as
customer-facing employees, so they chose a
custom “book” that features a gift inside. In
this case, the gift was a custom-printed pillow
cover. The book itself was printed in full color
on both sides and on the spine.

An energy company in West Virginia wanted to improve safety performance
throughout its mining operation, so it worked with a local distributor to develop
an incentive program that encouraged miners, supervisors and safety directors to
observe safety protocols and reduce the number of lost-time accidents.
The football-themed “Safety Bowl” assigned employees to teams, and awarded
points that could be redeemed for a variety of items, including outdoor sporting goods,
electronics, home appliances and lawn equipment.
As a result of the safety bowl, the energy company experienced its safest year in nearly
100 years of operation. Lost-time accidents were reduced by 47 percent over the previous
year, and the company saved upwards of $5 million.
