QUESTIONS:
Recognition matters more than ever before: when asked how organizations could
better support them in our new normal, 35% of employees said they wanted more
recognition. Sixty-nine percent of employees cite recognition and rewards
programs as motivation to stay at their current job.
Social recognition
Social recognition can be even more meaningful to employees than tangible
rewards. It’s a low-cost way to allow everyone at your organization to express their
gratitude for other team members publicly 一 even a simple thank you can be
enough to keep someone motivated.
Professional development
Eligibility
Most firms include both top and lower level managers, and mainly decide who’s eligible in
several ways. Most base eligibility on a combination of factors, including job level / title
Base salary and discretionary considerations (such as key jobs having a measurable impact
on profits). Some simply base eligibility on job level or job title.
Fund size
The employer must also decide the total amount of bonus money to make available – fund
size. Some use a nondeductible formula. They use a straight percentage (usually of the
company’s net income) to create the short term incentive fund. Others use a deductible
formula on the assumption that the fund should to accumulate only after the firm has met
specified level of earnings.
Individual awards
The third task is deciding the actual individual awards. Typically a target bonus (as well as
maximum bonus, perhaps double the target bonus) is set for each eligible position. The
actual award then reflects the person’s performance. The firm computes performance
ratings for each manager, computes preliminary total bonus estimates and compares the
total amount of money required with the bonus fund available
5. Name and define the most popular organization wide variable pay plans
6. Outline the steps in designing effective incentive plans?
Fulfillment
The more immediate, the better. Technological advances allow participants to redeem
rewards online and, in some cases, the rewards may be digital. It’s also important that the
reward and fulfillment experience is consistent with your company’s brand attributes.
Celebrate Success
Communicate the employee rewards and results of the recognition program with your
audience. Share how the program impacted company performance and celebrate both
individual and team achievements. Support from top management is critical, so make sure
company leaders are involved in presentations. If you have remote workers, consider web
events or other ways in which to involve all participants in the celebration.
