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 government sector employs hundreds of thousands across diverse agencies, facing unique challenges from bureaucratic stress, public scrutiny, and evolving citizen service demands. While physical safety risks vary from desk-based ergonomic issues to field work hazards for inspectors and compliance officers, psychological safety concerns dominate, with political pressure, media criticism, and complex approval processes creating chronic workplace stress. The sector shows significant engagement variations across agencies, with bureaucratic frustration and perceived barriers to innovation driving talent to private sector opportunities. Post-COVID expectations for digital transformation and enhanced service delivery add pressure to a workforce already managing strict security protocols and public accountability requirements. Scratchie's platform transforms government workplace culture by recognising innovation, collaboration, and service excellence within traditionally hierarchical structures. The system acknowledges public servants who streamline processes, implement creative solutions, or deliver exceptional citizen service despite bureaucratic constraints. By gamifying cross-agency collaboration and professional development, Scratchie breaks down silos while building pride in public service. The platform's security-compliant design meets government requirements while providing the modern engagement tools that younger workers expect. Recognition for both safety compliance and innovation encourages calculated risk-taking in process improvement while maintaining necessary protocols. This approach helps government agencies compete for talent by demonstrating that public service can be both meaningful and engaging, with immediate appreciation for contributions that improve citizen outcomes and workplace culture.

AU Context Safety

Government operations at federal, state, and local levels employ millions of Americans in diverse roles from administrative offices to public works, requiring comprehensive safety approaches that protect both employees and the citizens they serve. Public sector workers face unique challenges including aging infrastructure, budget constraints that delay safety improvements, complex bureaucratic processes for implementing change, and public scrutiny of every incident. Government facilities range from office buildings to water treatment plants, from parks departments to transportation authorities, each with distinct safety requirements and regulatory obligations. The sector must balance public service missions with employee protection, often operating under heightened security concerns while maintaining accessibility and transparency that private sector employers don't face. Government agencies can leverage instant safety rewards to build cultures of excellence that demonstrate responsible stewardship of public resources while protecting valuable public servants. Municipal workers maintaining safe roads, water treatment operators preventing contamination, office staff preventing ergonomic injuries, and field inspectors following safety protocols all deserve recognition that validates their service. Recognition systems that celebrate safety achievements can help overcome bureaucratic inertia and build momentum for continuous improvement across diverse departments. By gamifying safety metrics and creating friendly competition between departments or facilities, government employers can stretch limited budgets while building engaged workforces that take pride in serving their communities safely, ultimately demonstrating that public sector employment can offer both meaningful service and workplace excellence.

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.
