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

Australia's healthcare sector employs 1.7 million people—15% of the total workforce—yet faces a mounting crisis with 82% of health professions experiencing shortages and 30% turnover rates becoming commonplace. Healthcare workers endure musculoskeletal disorder rates of 71.2% compared to 54.8% in other industries, while managing infectious disease risks, workplace violence, and severe psychological hazards. Post-COVID burnout affects 50% of nurses, with 148% annual turnover in remote areas highlighting the sector's retention emergency. The 24/7 operational demands, combined with emotional labor of patient care and increasing workplace violence viewed as "part of the job," create an environment where staff wellbeing directly impacts patient outcomes. Scratchie's instant recognition platform addresses healthcare's unique challenges by providing immediate positive reinforcement for safe patient handling, infection control compliance, and peer support during high-stress situations. The system acknowledges the emotional labor inherent in healthcare by recognising staff who de-escalate violent situations, support colleagues through difficult shifts, or maintain safety protocols despite time pressures. With research showing healthcare workers are 2.7 times more likely to be engaged when expecting recognition, Scratchie helps build the high-trust environments essential for quality patient care. The platform's 24/7 accessibility ensures all shifts receive equal recognition opportunities, while gamified training modules make mandatory compliance engaging rather than burdensome. By creating positive reinforcement cycles for both physical safety behaviours and psychological support, Scratchie helps healthcare organisations reduce turnover costs while improving both staff wellbeing and patient satisfaction.

AU Context Safety

The US healthcare sector faces unprecedented challenges with over 610,000 experienced registered nurses considering leaving within five years due to pandemic-related stress, while the industry faces projected physician shortages of 61,700 to 94,700 by 2025. Healthcare facilities must manage workforce challenges including talent shortages, upskilling needs, and retention issues that affect 58% of health system executives' organizational strategies, while simultaneously dealing with cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and increasing regulatory complexity. The sector requires comprehensive approaches to both patient safety and worker safety, addressing everything from needlestick injuries and workplace violence to musculoskeletal disorders from patient handling and the psychological impact of caring for critically ill patients. Healthcare workers face infection risks, chemical exposures, radiation hazards, and the physical demands of long shifts, all while maintaining the compassion and precision required for patient care. Healthcare organizations can transform their safety cultures by implementing instant rewards that recognize the countless correct decisions made by workers protecting both themselves and patients. Nurses following proper lifting techniques, environmental services staff maintaining infection control standards, technicians adhering to radiation safety protocols, and physicians promoting hand hygiene all deserve immediate acknowledgment for their vigilance. With technology potentially giving bedside nurses 20% more time for direct patient care through automation, recognition systems can reinforce both safety behaviors and quality care delivery. By gamifying compliance with everything from hand hygiene to fall prevention protocols, healthcare facilities can build cultures where safety and quality are inseparable values, ultimately creating environments where healthcare workers can sustainably provide the compassionate care that defines their calling while protecting their own health and wellbeing.

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.
