Republic Services – Kits
HOW REPUBLIC SERVICES
REVAMPED ANNUAL SAFETY AWARDS
ENGAGEING EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE
PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
Lasting safety improvements happen when employees are consistently recognized for doing the right thing —
not just reminded when they do something wrong. By rewarding proactive safety behaviors, organizations build a
culture where engagement and accountability become part of everyday work.
The Challenge
Republic Services sought to revamp their mature recognition program into an
experience that better reflected its Dedicated to Safety (DTS) culture while simplifying nationwide program administration.
The Results
More than 15,000 employees recognized each year
Reinforced the Dedicated to Safety brand and company core values
Eliminated logistical challenges associated with apparel
distribution
Simplified nationwide fulfillment and banquet logistics
Employees eagerly anticipated each year’s new kit
Program continued to evolve with fresh themes and
premium merchandise
Program in Action
Each years kit, since the programs inception in 2010, features a unique theme, premium
branded merchandise, and custom packaging designed to celebrate employee achievement while reinforcing Republic Services' Dedicated to Safety culture.
