This document discusses ways to increase employee motivation. It states that according to Gallup, 85% of employees are disengaged, costing employers productivity. The Lantern Group uses behavioral science to diagnose motivation problems, understand human drives, and design better employee programs and communications to increase engagement. They provide services like incentive diagnostics to understand how rewards impact behavior, total rewards optimization to align programs, and workshops to teach managers how to motivate employees using the four drives of motivation: acquire, bond, challenge, and define. The goal is to excite employees about their work and feel ownership over business success.

In today’s fast-paced business world,
having motivated and engaged employees is a necessity,
yet, according to Gallup, 85% of employees are disengaged.
This is no small issue. Employees who are disengaged are psychologically unattached to
their work and cost employers almost 35% of their salary through lost productivity,
lack of motivation, chronic tardiness, toxic emotional contamination, and a host of
other negative behaviors.

6. Incentive Diagnostics
To maximize the performance of your incentives, you need to
understand the behavioral and emotional drivers that are influencing
your employees.
This understanding provides you with unique insights into how you
maximize the impact of your incentive program’s design, rewards,
implementation and communication.
Our diagnostic process provides
you with a deep understanding
of how your incentive & rewards
programs impact the behavior
of your salespeople.
We take a deep dive into your incentives and how your sales
force perceives them, providing you with deeper insight into
what is driving the behaviors of your sales teams.
By leveraging these often-overlooked behavioral science
insights you can maximize the motivational impact your
incentives have on your field sales force.
Organizations do not
always understand the
underlying drives &
emotions behind their
employees’ behaviors
& attitudes
This can lead to
incentive designs &
implementation that
fail to maximize
the impact these
programs can have
Greater understanding of
the underlying drives &
emotions leads to better
program designs that
improves overall
performance

7. Total Rewards Optimization
We use this process to ensure that the design of each
reward program is aligned with and leverages the impact of
the other reward programs.
This optimization helps to increase motivation, spur
discretionary effort, and ultimately drive improved sales
performance often at an overall lower total reward spend.
Over time, organizations
mix of total rewards can
expand and become
convoluted, confusing
and misaligned.
This complexity can lead
to reward programs
having conflicting
motivations, rewarding
the wrong behaviors, and
missing strategic
opportunities.
Greater alignment and
purposeful design of the
total reward mix can help
organizations optimize
the motivational impact
that your programs have
while ensuring that they
are driving the right
behaviors.
Total Reward Optimization
aligns your incentive and
rewards programs
to maximize their overall
motivational impact.
Building off of the incentive diagnostic and to optimize the impact
that your total rewards have, you need to ensure that they are
strategically aligned, leverage all the motivational drives, and work
together to achieve success.
We examine how each of your programs is tapping into the motivational
drives of your employees, discover how they are interconnected or
overlap, assess their impact on your employees' behaviors, and
determine if those behaviors align with your strategy.
This feels like a diagnostic… Kurt reviewing

8. IC Communications
Are your incentive communications working for your
employees?
Do they fully understand both how their incentives work and what
they need to do to maximize their earnings? Are your
communications adding to the motivation that the plan delivers?
Our communication process drives
increased motivation, improved
understanding, & achieves greater
buy-in to your messages
Our research indicates
that 50 to 60%
of salespeople do not
fully understand their
compensation plans or
how to effectively
maximize their earnings
Even the best
compensation and
incentive plans are
only effective if they
are understood and
applied
We design incentive
communications that
significantly increase your
team’s understanding of
their plans and impact their
behavior – leading to
increased buy-in and sales
Our communications combine world-class graphic design,
creative copy, and behavioral science principles to drive
increased motivation, improved understanding, and achieve
greater buy-in to your messages.
We understand how to frame your communications to tap
into the underlying motivational drives and thinking
processes of your employees.

11. 4-Drive Workshops
Today’s leaders need to leverage all four motivational drives
that impact their employees, yet, too often, they have not been
provided with the insight or training on how to do this.
With this workshop, your leaders learn how to apply the 4–Drive
Model of Employee Motivation to maximize their team and program
performance.
We are the leading experts in the world on the application of the 4–
Drive Model of Employee Motivation inside organizations.
The 4-Drive Model
of Employee Motivation
Acquire & Achieve
Driven to acquire things,
resources, pleasures
and status
Bond & Belong
Driven to create positive
relationships, engage,
and “fit in”
Challenge & Comprehend
Driven to achieve goals,
attain mastery, learn,
improve and create
Define & Defend
Driven to defend status,
ideas, relationships and define
purpose
Human motivation is
complex, irrational,
and difficult to
unravel. It often
requires years of
study and experience
to understand.
Managers need to
motivate and
engage their teams,
but often do not
have the knowledge
or tools to do so
successfully.
The 4-Drive Model provides
your managers with an easy
to use, customized, science-
backed tool that helps them
diagnose and solve their
employee motivation and
engagement issues.
