Incentive Plans - Pay for Performance

Does your organization feel increased pressure every year for higher levels of productivity and performance? Incentive-based compensation and other performance-based pay programs are motivating employees to meet their goals which in turn drives the company to new levels of success. We can help you examine how your employees are paid rather than merely how much. We have extensive experience in variable pay programs, and can assist you with the following:

  • Assessing the appropriateness of pay for performance plan within your organization.
    Is merit pay with an effective performance appraisal program right for your organization?
  • Determining the type of incentive plan that best fits the strategic goals of your organization.
    Should your organization improve performance with incentives based on team performance, Management by Objectives (MBO) bonuses, individual performance or organization results?
  • Evaluating what is rewarded and who receives that reward.
    What key measures does the company want to drive (i.e. profitability, revenue, market share, growth, customer satisfaction)? Which parts of the organization should be eligible for the incentive plan and why? Who is eligible to participate?
  • Deciding how variable pay factors in to the total compensation package.
    What are the payout provisions when a plan participant either meets or exceeds goals? Does the new incentive plan have an effect on the existing base pay structure?
  • Communicating the benefits of an incentive pay program to your employees.
    Are plan participants intimately aware of how the plan works, when results are reported and when the plan pays out? Do they know what they must do differently to receive an award?

A well-designed incentive plan can aid in employee retention and improve your organization's position in the market against increased competition.

Focusing employees on the overall business objectives and rewarding them for increased productivity is an effective way to leverage your limited resources. We would like to help you attain your organizational goals more cost effectively through a customized pay for performance programs.
