Question Transition checks

What procedures do you or your airline use to ensure that QNH or QNE are set through transitions? How many incidents are reported through not setting one or other on the way down/up. (If this is sensitive please email me)
I am in flight safety for a major airline and have had some incidents reported and want some ideas for a fix, not a silver bullet.
Examples I have had are resetting the altimeter once cleared through transitions, (not allowable under our countries rules,) checking the subscale is set correctly when levelling off, and setting the altitude alert to chime when approaching transitions. Any others would be carefully considered and greatfully received.
