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

Global operations require international workforce accommodation with multi-language capabilities. Recovery metrics must connect recognition to growth indicators. Customer loyalty impact measurement and regulatory compliance add complexity while seasonal fluctuations demand flexible solutions.

AU Context

The travel sector, still recovering from losing 52% of jobs during COVID-19, faces unique safety challenges while rebuilding with only 713,000 of pre-pandemic 757,500 positions filled. Tourism operators manage complex safety responsibilities for customers during activities ranging from adventure tours to coach travel, while dealing with remote location emergencies and weather-related hazards. The workforce, 55% female with high part-time employment, struggles with seasonal fluctuations and the pressure of ensuring client safety across diverse, often unfamiliar environments. Post-pandemic labor shortages are particularly acute in regional areas where tourism experiences occur, while international visitor expectations for safety have heightened following global health concerns. Scratchie's platform addresses travel's dual challenge of worker safety and customer protection by recognising excellence in both areas. Tour operators receive instant rewards for thorough pre-activity safety briefings, successful emergency response procedures, and proactive weather-related decision-making that prioritises safety over schedule. The system acknowledges cultural competency in serving diverse international visitors while maintaining safety standards across language barriers. By gamifying seasonal training during quiet periods, Scratchie helps maintain workforce readiness for peak seasons. The platform's achievement badges for obtaining industry certifications and completing first aid training address skills shortages while building professional pride. Recognition for team collaboration during successful tours reinforces the coordination essential for managing complex travel experiences. This comprehensive approach helps travel businesses rebuild their workforce with engaged, safety-conscious professionals who understand their critical role in protecting both colleagues and customers in Australia's recovering tourism industry.

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.
