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 finance and banking sector faces a paradox where workers managing money experience high financial stress themselves, with only 50% highly engaged and 35% considered retention risks. The industry's 18.6% turnover rate—highest among professional sectors—reflects widespread dissatisfaction despite competitive salaries. Physical health impacts from sedentary work include cardiovascular problems and musculoskeletal disorders, while psychological pressures from sales targets, regulatory compliance, and post-royal commission scrutiny create chronic stress. Women in finance show 24% higher burnout rates than men, while younger workers (18-29) experience 20% more burnout than older colleagues, highlighting demographic disparities in workplace wellbeing. Scratchie's recognition platform addresses finance's engagement crisis by acknowledging achievements beyond sales metrics. The system rewards compliance excellence, making complex regulatory requirements engaging through gamification and team challenges. By recognising financial wellness initiatives—ironically needed by finance workers themselves—and work-life balance achievements, Scratchie counters the industry's "always-on" culture. The platform's professional development tracking celebrates continuous learning essential for keeping pace with fintech disruption. Peer recognition for mentoring and knowledge sharing builds collaborative cultures in traditionally competitive environments. This holistic approach to recognition helps financial institutions retain talent by demonstrating that employee wellbeing matters as much as profit margins, creating sustainable careers in an industry undergoing fundamental transformation while rebuilding public trust.

AU Context Safety

The US financial sector, while primarily office-based, faces evolving safety and compliance challenges as institutions manage physical security, cybersecurity, workplace ergonomics, and employee wellbeing across bank branches, trading floors, and corporate offices. Financial institutions must protect both employees and customers from workplace violence, particularly in retail banking where workers handle cash transactions and may face robbery attempts or aggressive customers. The sector increasingly recognizes the impact of psychological safety and mental health, as high-stress environments, long hours, and performance pressure contribute to burnout and associated safety risks. Additionally, financial organizations must ensure compliance with workplace safety regulations while managing unique risks such as repetitive strain injuries from continuous computer work, slip-and-fall hazards in customer areas, and the security challenges of protecting sensitive information and valuable assets. Financial institutions can implement instant safety rewards to build comprehensive wellbeing cultures that address both physical and psychological safety. Bank tellers following robbery response protocols, facilities staff maintaining safe customer areas, IT personnel protecting against cyber threats, and managers promoting work-life balance all deserve recognition for their contributions to organizational safety. Recognition for participating in ergonomic assessments, attending stress management workshops, reporting security concerns, and supporting colleagues' mental health creates positive reinforcement for holistic safety approaches. By gamifying both traditional safety metrics and wellbeing indicators, financial organizations can build cultures where employee health is valued equally with financial performance, ultimately creating sustainable workplaces where professionals can thrive while serving customers' financial needs safely and effectively.

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.
