At Good Day’s Work, we believe delivering high-quality safety training is only the beginning. The real challenge? Ensuring your employees complete it—and take it seriously.

Agriculture remains the most dangerous industry in the U.S., and we’re on a mission to change that. But even the best training tools won’t work unless your team is engaged.

If you’re seeing low participation in your safety courses, try these five proven strategies to turn things around:


1. Make Safety a Core Value—Not an Extra Task

Safety should be embedded in your company culture—not treated as just another checkbox.

SAFETY FIRST

How to do it:

  • Set the tone from leadership

  • Communicate that safety is a shared, ongoing responsibility

  • Include training expectations in onboarding and performance reviews

💡 Tip: Visibility creates accountability. Make safety part of your everyday language.


2. Track Progress and Follow Up

Monitoring course completion is easy with our platform—but following up is what drives action.

Team

How to do it:

  • Reach out to employees who fall behind

  • Publicly recognize those who stay on track

💡 Tip: Appoint a safety champion or supervisor to check in weekly and keep training on everyone’s radar.


3. Reward Participation

A little recognition goes a long way in boosting morale and motivation.

How to do it:

  • Offer small incentives like gift cards or shoutouts

  • Celebrate milestones at team meetings

💡 Tip: Tie rewards to team progress to encourage peer support and accountability.


4. Make Time During the Workday

If training happens after hours, it often doesn’t happen at all. Respect your team’s time by making safety part of the schedule.

How to do it:

  • Dedicate 30–60 minutes of paid time for training

  • Block off recurring sessions on the calendar

💡 Tip: Host a monthly “Safety Hour” to create structure and consistency.


5. Lead by Example

When managers participate in the same training, it sends a powerful message: Safety matters to everyone.

How to do it:

  • Encourage leaders to complete courses with their teams

  • Ask them to share takeaways in meetings

💡 Tip: Leadership buy-in is one of your strongest tools for boosting engagement.
