100 WAYS: #10 Link Bonus to Performance
– April 7, 2010
Make sure your bonus system provides real value. The fundamental basis for any incentive compensation program is simple: it should equitably and consistently recognize and compensate employees for superior performance.
There should always be two winners in a bonus structure: the employer and the employee. Giving ample reward and recognition to the star performers in an organization has the benefit of providing a role model for other employees. As a result, standards of performance are elevated and morale is strengthened.
In order to implement this, the company must be able to set clear measurable goals and make everyone’s bonus tied to the achievement of those goals. Each group of employees (secretaries, accounting, purchasing, sales) can be measured by different matrixes.
