More successful organisations are beginning to tie compensation directly to employee performance to drive incredible business results. Originally believed to be applicable only for sales professionals, pay-for-performance is proving to be effective at all levels and in all functions of an organisation.
Although pay-for-performance is gaining acceptance from both senior management and front line employees, most organisations lack the know-how to make it a reality.
RemCalc offers an easy-to-understand road map to apply pay-for-performance as a strategy within your organisation. It provides real-world insight into how to build a successful pay-for-performance culture that can literally transform your business.
What a well-structured pay-for-performance system can do to your business
Building a pay-for-performance culture may seem like an abstract vision for some organisations; however, it is considered a top tool by senior executives for achieving better financial results. And for good reason, a strong pay-for-performance culture has the ability to:
- unlock employee performance potential,
- keep your “superstars” happy, and
- ultimately drive a healthier bottom line.
How to ensure pay-for-performance will be successful in your business
It is important to realize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to developing a pay-for performance culture. To be successful, you have to “think custom” and tailor a system to your unique business needs and existing HR processes. The answers to the following questions provide invaluable feedback in setting expectations and shaping a meaningful pay-for performance culture:
- Are the tasks that people are working on driving the business? How can you tell?
- Are your managers engaged with your employees throughout the year to make sure they execute their objectives?
- Are individuals executing against what is expected? Who is and who isn’t executing?
- Are you objectively ensuring that bonuses, increases, and promotions are given to those high performing individuals that you can’t afford to lose?
