The expectancy theory asserts that employees will put in as much
work as they expect to receive.
If the employee perceives they are going to be paid favorably, they
will work to achieve the outcomes.
If employees believe the rewards do not equal the amount of effort,
they may not work as hard.

will likely occur in the future.
If high performance isn't followed by a reward, it is less likely the high
performance will occur in the future.

reforms for government employees
Date: 7th January 2021
The central government has decided to extend 'disability compensation' to
all its serving employees. It will be applicable if they get disabled in the line
of duty and are still retained in service despite their disability. This is in line
with the efforts of the government to simplify the rules and rectify
discriminatory clauses.

18. Incentives and Fringe Benefits
Employee incentives and benefits are a vital tool for companies.
If companies want to attract talent, improve workforce motivation,
reduce staff turnover, etc., then incentives and fringe benefits should
be included into the salary packages which company offers.
Incentives are linked to an employee's performance, so they work
in the same way as a prize.

19. Standard Benefits
 Relocation assistance
 Medical, prescription, vision and dental plans
 Dependent care
 Retirement benefit plans
 Group term-life and long-term care insurance plans
 Legal assistance plans
 Child care benefits
 Transportation benefits
 Paid-time off (PTO)

20. Differences between incentives and benefits
Incentives are awarded after the work has been done, as long as
the employee has hit specific targets. Benefits, are delivered from
the moment they join the company's workforce.
Only employees that stand out for their efficiency and productivity
gain these incentives. Conversely, benefits are offered to everyone
equally, and even to those with below-average performance.

21. Aligning total rewards with strategy
Aligned reward strategy: creating a compensation package
(wages, incentives and benefits) that produces the employee
behaviours the firm needs to achieve its competitive strategy
Total rewards: traditional pay, incentives, and benefits, but
also “rewards” such as more challenging jobs (job design),
career development and recognition
21

22. Building a Compelling Compensation Strategy
Total Compensation= Cash compensation and Benefits + Relational Returns
Characteristics of Total Reward Strategy:
 Best fit
 Integrative
 Strategic
 People-centred
 Customised
 Distinctive
 Evolutionary
