Tools to Help Your Employees Focus
on Your Company's Success

Variable Pay Options

Generally, the intent of any type of variable pay program is to increase employee focus on the drivers of company success. A number of different options can link employee contribution to company success.

Variable compensation, incentive-based pay, gainsharing, annual and spot bonuses can all be used to focus your employees on the company's goals. Properly designed -- and of equal importance -- properly implemented -- some of these programs can make the impossible possible.

The right incentive program is usually the quickest and surest way to increase employee focus and change the results your company is getting. But just having an incentive program -- even a well-designed and well-implemented program -- sometimes isn't enough.

Circumstances in the organization may be pulling employee focus in other directions. The Services page lists major activities that can reinforce or conflict with your incentive program. An organization assessment is a good way to find out where the conflicts may be.

Non-Pay-Based Options

For some companies, a pay-based program may not be in the cards, for a variety of reasons. A number of non-pay tools exist to help your employees focus on what's important to your company.

In some cases, companies don't have identifiable improvement opportunities large enough to self-fund a full-fledged incentive program. In those cases, we can help you identify improvement opportunities that can provide the lower funding required for awards and recognition.

We'll help you define and implement the best low-cost program with greatest impact. For example, we have worked with manufacturing and construction companies to focus employees on safety through awards and recognition, with remarkable results.

Employee engagement

Actions that significantly increase employee engagement contribute powerfully to company financial results. You may know this as employee ownership, employee loyalty, employee commitment or accountability.
