Reward System

Increasing performance and making employees happier

You Get What You Reward

The Number 1 employee performance management principle is that the things that get rewarded get done.

Reward the right behavior to get the right results. The only way employees will fulfill your dream is to share in the dream. Reward systems are the mechanisms that make this happen.

"You get more of the behavior you reward. You don't get what you hope for, ask for, wish for or beg for. You get what you reward."
~ Michael le Boeuf

We decided to reward employees around a matrix of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), and growth.

Michael Dell

The journey is the reward.

Steve Jobs

Apple

Provide rewards for the soul and for the wallet.

Jack Welch

A paycheck and a stock option will buy one kind of loyalty. But nothing can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, sincere words of praise.

Sam Walton

Recognize and Reward Achievements

Turn your business cause to a crusade and reward activities that advance the crusade. Reward your employees immediately when they reach a stretch goal or meet a high standard you set for them.

Stimulate Entrepreneurial Environment

Reward structures that provide a high upside for a breakthrough success and at the same time a downside for noble failures help to encourage managers to inspire intrapreneurs and stimulate an experimentation-friendly entrepreneurial environment.

A Rainbow of Rewards

Reward systems are much more than just bonus plans and gainsharing. While they often include both of these incentives, they can also include recognition (for instance, giving a WOW or an award), promotions, reassignment, and/or non-monetary bonuses.

Examples of Reward Systems

Silicon Valley Firms

Dell

Monsanto

Link Pay with Performance

Create heroes in each role. Create performance-related broad bands for pay within each role. Overlap bands for pay vertically to give an opportunity to a high-performing employee to earn more than his or her supervisor. This will help high-performing employees who love what they do not to seek to moving to the next rung on the ladder.

Gain Sharing

High-growth companies use phantom stock and/or royalties as a way of sharing the wealth generated by new technologies. Instead of actually giving people stock in the company, you give them a promise to pay them a cash bonus at some future point equal to a certain percentage of the company's equity.
