Staff Incentive & Reward Programs

How should an incentive or reward program be structured to be most effective in a New Zealand business?

Once you have made the investment to recruit good staff and trained them, you need to retain them and motivate them to consistently provide top quality performance in their work. A successful performance management system will go a long way to motivating your staff, but the addition of appropriate incentives will add some real power to drive the program.

Key elements of a successful staff incentive program are:

• Set goals that are clearly defined and measurable and allocate rewards on a cumulative scale so that top performance achieves top reward.
• Change the focus of the program in each work area on a regular basis so some aspects of the job do not become the only focus.
• Consider a points based reward program for maximum flexibility.
• Choose an incentive program structure that allows individual choice of reward for stronger motivation.
• Include some stress relievers and family rewards in the reward line-up.
• Manage the program with integrity – no unexpected surprises.
• Check regularly with staff to make sure they are happy with the incentives and the way the program operates.
• Public acknowledgement will increase the power of the program.
• Select a suitable partner to support the program to make sure it happens reliably, even when you get too busy to make it happen.
