A happy site is a productive site

We said safe,
not skinny.

A smoothly-run project is easy to spot. The schedule is working, the banter is alive, things are tidy and the workers are productive. Safety is easier when workers are engaged. Scratchie contributes to creating those conditions on your site.

Hutchinson Builders

Commercial Precinct gets huge safety boost

Large privately-held construction company J.Hutchinson piloted Scratchie on one of their data centre projects, and consequently safety, lead indicator data and morale shot up. Oh and the supervisors can't get enough of it.

“Anything that improves safety, positively, we like.”

A leader in safety in the construction industry, Sydney-based Richard Crookes Constructions have used Scratchie on several of their projects, showing an improvement in safety attitudes of over 25%, and reducing the time required by their supervisors to chase up safety maintenance items (because they're already done – that's the power of positive incentives).

AU Context

The aged care sector faces an unprecedented crisis with 65,000 workers leaving annually and projected shortages of 400,000 by 2050, while managing complex resident needs with increasingly limited resources. Workers confront high rates of manual handling injuries from patient transfers, infectious disease risks heightened by COVID-19, and challenging behaviors from dementia patients that create both physical and psychological hazards. The predominantly female workforce (80%+) endures low pay and poor working conditions while providing emotionally demanding end-of-life care. With mandated staffing ratios and 200+ minutes of care time per resident, facilities struggle to maintain standards when operating at 65% capacity due to workforce shortages. Scratchie's recognition system addresses aged care's retention crisis by valuing the compassionate, skilled work that staff perform despite challenging conditions. Instant rewards for safe patient handling, infection control compliance, and successful management of challenging behaviours provide tangible appreciation for often-undervalued contributions. The platform acknowledges both technical skills—like proper lifting techniques—and emotional labor—such as comforting distressed residents or supporting grieving families. By creating peer recognition networks, Scratchie combats the isolation many care workers feel while building supportive team cultures. The system's ability to track professional development and celebrate care quality achievements helps create career pathways in a sector often seen as a dead-end job. This comprehensive approach to recognition directly addresses the undervaluation driving mass exodus from aged care, helping facilities retain skilled workers essential for maintaining dignity and safety for Australia's elderly population.

AU Context Safety

The US aged care sector faces extraordinary challenges as it prepares for unprecedented demographic shifts, with the 75 and older population projected to grow by 49% by 2033 while the industry needs to add over 660,000 workers to keep up with demand. Senior living facilities across the country are grappling with severe staffing shortages, with virtually all nursing homes and 96% of assisted living facilities experiencing severe staffing shortages, while simultaneously managing increasingly complex medical conditions among residents. The workforce crisis is particularly acute, as the industry's suicide rate stands at four times the national average, and construction workers in adjacent healthcare roles face significant mental health challenges. These facilities must balance regulatory compliance, quality care delivery, and employee wellbeing while operating under tight financial constraints and facing rising food costs, energy expenses, and wage pressures that require innovative operational strategies. Implementing positive reinforcement systems in aged care settings can dramatically improve both staff retention and care quality by recognizing the daily acts of excellence that often go unnoticed in high-stress environments. Care aides, nurses, and support staff who demonstrate exceptional infection control practices, proper lifting techniques, medication administration protocols, and compassionate resident interactions deserve immediate recognition that validates their crucial contributions. With about one-third of home care workers leaving their positions annually, creating a culture of appreciation through instant rewards can help combat burnout and build stronger connections between staff and their workplace mission. By gamifying compliance with hand hygiene protocols, fall prevention measures, and other safety standards, facilities can reduce incident rates while simultaneously improving employee morale and engagement, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both residents and caregivers in this essential sector of American healthcare.

Scratchie Rewards

Instant recognition that actually works

The Need: Your team does great work every day, but most of it goes unnoticed. Traditional recognition programs are slow, complicated, or forgotten entirely.

The Solution: Scratchie Rewards lets supervisors recognise good work instantly with digital scratch cards. Spot something positive, scan a QR code, and your team member gets an instant reward on their phone. It takes 30 seconds and creates a moment of genuine appreciation.

The Outcome: Teams that feel valued work harder, stay longer, and care more about quality. It's that simple.

Convo Card

Instant recognition that actually works

The Need: Your frontline workers see problems and opportunities every day, but most never speak up. Traditional reporting is a hassle, and nobody wants to be seen as a complainer.

The Solution: Convo Cards make it easy and rewarding to share observations. Workers can quickly report hazards, suggest improvements, or start important conversations—right from their phone. Add photos, voice notes, or just a quick message. Every contribution earns recognition.

The Outcome: Problems get fixed before they become incidents. Ideas flow from the people who know the work best. Your workplace gets safer and smarter, one conversation at a time.
