Discussion Board Reply Discussion Board Reply The incentive is a key motivational factor for employees’ performance in any organization. However, from the employees’ perspective, it does not appear commensurate with the amount of work that they do. Many strikes in organizations worldwide majorly result from payment disputes and in such situations, there is production loss (Huang, & Lai, 2014). However, organizations that are focused on attracting, retaining and motivating employees are always keen to avert such crisis. They do so by implementing a legitimate and fair compensation programs that would see employees getting payments commensurate to the work done, pay for performance (NIV, Romans 2. 6).
Many organizations driven by quality would implement a pay-for-performance system that will improve employees’ performance. They will set mechanisms to gather, analyze and interpret unbiased data of all employees through annual or semi-annual performance appraisals linked directly to an individual. This will remove biases and challenge employees to work harder since the industrious ones get appreciated through rewards such as promotion (NIV, Mathew 25. 21).
Linking employees’ performance to rewards will give the administration the best program to design salaries and wages. It will also help in performance, monitoring and evaluation, which will translate into quality production, profitability, low turnover and organizational discipline (Rehman, & Ali, 2013). However, such scenarios may not occur in organizations where management is bossy. Such management always has conflicts with employees resulting in a general decrease in production capacity despite high salaries.
Healthier lifestyles will save organizations costs related to medical expenditure and production. The organizations are also developing employee wellness programs such as regular medical examinations focused on preventing health issues before they develop and increasing employee insurance premiums.
