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.

Industry Size and Workforce

Unique Operational Challenges

Seasonal workforce management requires year-round engagement strategies. Performance pressure demands balanced individual and team recognition. Multi-venue operations and fan impact integration complicate program design while diverse role types from athletes to concessions need unified approaches.

AU Context

The Australian sport sector employs 162,000 people across a $17.8 billion industry, managing unique safety challenges from stadium operations to event coordination. Workers face risks from crowd control during events hosting thousands of spectators, construction hazards during complex stadium projects, and the coordination of massive casual workforces during sporting seasons. The industry's 76% male workforce with 50.3% under 35 years creates specific engagement challenges, while high casual employment and 2.4-year average contracts drive retention issues. Managing security across multiple access zones, coordinating thousands of volunteers, and maintaining facilities that host diverse events from sports to concerts requires sophisticated safety management systems. Scratchie's gamified platform addresses sport's unique workforce challenges by creating engaging safety systems for both permanent staff and event-day casuals. The platform provides instant recognition for crowd management excellence, successful security procedures, and effective emergency response coordination. By implementing progressive badge systems for advancing through safety certification levels, Scratchie maintains engagement with seasonal workers between events. The system's volunteer recognition features are particularly powerful, motivating unpaid contributors who are essential for major sporting events. Real-time leaderboards during events create friendly competition while maintaining safety focus, while peer recognition builds team cohesion across diverse departments. This comprehensive approach helps sporting organisations manage the complex safety requirements of modern venues while building positive cultures that attract and retain quality staff in a traditionally high-turnover industry.

AU Context Safety

The sport sector faces 48% turnover over two years in Division I athletics, ranging from 21.9% to 72.5% across programs, with venue hospitality roles experiencing 70-80% annual turnover. Athletes face among the highest occupational injury rates, while support staff manage large crowd safety and high-volume food service risks. The mixed workforce of 25,100 athletes and 151,000 in spectator sports operates across seasonal schedules with irregular hours and rigid hierarchies. Behind-the-scenes contributions and seasonal workers' intensive efforts often go unrecognized despite their critical role in the $171 billion global industry. Scratchie's real-time recognition platform acknowledges exceptional performance during events, from athletic achievements to venue operations excellence. Support staff receive instant rewards for crowd management success, incident-free events, and fan satisfaction improvements. The system bridges athletic and operational staff recognition gaps through unified team challenges and safety protocol badges. By gamifying fan experience metrics, celebrating security achievements, and recognizing seasonal workers' contributions during peak periods, Scratchie addresses the work-life conflict and recognition void that drives turnover across diverse roles from concessions to coaching staff.
