Challenges

“This is for kids, not for me, I’m a

professional…”

“This will drive the wrong behaviours from our

staff.”

“We don’t need measures and badges to

motivate us.”

“This will cost a lot of money and be an overhead to manage.”

“How can we make older and more senior people follow

this?”

“It will create a culture of selfish behaviour.”

“We’re working very well thank you.”
