Pay for perfomance (Pros&Cons) presentationEvelyne Otto
Pay for performance (PFP) uses incentive pay to encourage employees to meet production goals. PFP can increase productivity when goals are clear, rewards are desired, and it focuses on whole-company success rather than individual performance. However, PFP may decrease intrinsic motivation, quality, and teamwork if it pits employees against each other. For PFP to be effective, expectations must be communicated clearly and regularly evaluated, and both financial and non-financial rewards should be used to motivate employees.

You just need to let it go. Incentive plans have become unappreciated, ineffective and economically indefensible. In today’s business environment, your focus should be on value-sharing.

Pay for performance and financial incentivesnadeemshafi111
Pay for performance and financial incentives can motivate employees but must be carefully designed. Frederick Taylor first suggested using financial incentives to reward employees. Incentive plans include individual plans like piecework and merit pay as well as team and organization-wide plans. Effective incentive plans must link pay to meaningful performance measures, consider individual motivations, and provide feedback. Both financial and non-financial rewards can be used, but incentives may demotivate intrinsic motivation if not properly implemented. Managers must understand motivational theories and design plans carefully to maximize employee motivation and performance.

The document discusses the aging of the baby boomer generation and the need to develop new leaders from younger generations as boomers retire. It notes that as boomers retire, there will be a decline in the proportion of the population that is of prime working age. This creates both leadership and skills gaps that must be addressed. The solution proposed is for HR experts to take a leadership role in developing a "Boomer Leader Legacy" process. This process would involve educating leaders about generational differences, assessing leadership needs, designing a leadership development strategy, and implementing a plan to transfer knowledge from boomers to newer generations of leaders.
Infographic depicting research on why boomer leaders in Canadian organizations are reticent to share their expertise with the next generation of leaders.
This document discusses generational differences in the workplace. Generation Y, also known as Millennials, now make up 30% of the workforce. They prioritize work-life balance and learning opportunities over loyalty to their employer. In contrast, Baby Boomers value hard work and company success. This can lead to clashes between the generations as they have different expectations of the workplace. It is important for organizations to understand generational differences and play to each generation's strengths in order to attract and retain talent.
Use recognition and reward to grow future leaders hr.com version january 24 2013Boomer Match to Business
The document discusses using recognition and reward to grow future leaders through leadership continuity. It notes that as baby boomers leave the workforce, there will be a loss of expertise that needs to be replaced. A 3-step process is proposed: 1) assess the costs of lost knowledge, 2) build a knowledge transfer process between generations, and 3) implement succession planning tools. Key considerations include lifestyle planning, mentoring, skills development, work-life balance, and career development to align rewards for senior leaders with opportunities for future leaders. The goal is to motivate knowledge sharing between cohorts and develop the next generation of leaders.
With boomers heading into retirement, succession planning takes on a higher priority. HR experts can turn this challenge into an opportunity to secure a seat at the C-suite table by developing a boomer legacy process.
The Boomer Leader Legacy (BLL) process is for HR experts and leaders who are succession planning for leadership continuity - as the boomers exit the workforce.

Today’s workforce is comprised of four generations, each with their own working styles, workplace environment and communication preferences, and views of how they expect to be treated as employees. This creates challenge for organizations in terms of attracting, recruiting and retaining high performers. These challenges will only grow as, by 2020, there will be five generations in the workplace and Boomers, the current leadership and dominant cohort, will be replaced by the less expert Generation Y cohort. Today, more than ever, Human Resources experts can take a leadership role in addressing these challenges and leveraging the differences for performance advantage.
As Boomers age and retire, volunteer organizations look to them to bulk up their ranks, but this may not be the case. This presentation discusses the demographic makeup of our society and the implications for volunteering into 2020 and beyond.
Finding a career or changing jobs in this new economy is a challenge. Think about pursuing your passion, what you can contribute to others, and re-brand yourself as a self-employed expert.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Recognition & Reward (cash or non-cash):
• Basic financial needs met; awards viewed as special gift

or specific short-term situations (e.g. product launch)
• To retain top talent
• ‘Model’ top performance for other employees

Does money buy happiness?
• Fairness drives satisfaction – what people really
value is not money itself but the sense of
fairness that surrounds it
• Trust stimulates the most positive reactions –
people want to trust those they interact with
and want to be trusted
• Fairness and trust lead to cooperation – these
feel-good effects lead to voluntary cooperation

14. Fairness & Trust Trumps Cash
Manage to be fair and trusting
• Get to know your employees as individuals and
workers; this means spending time with them
• Do what you say you will do
• Trust your employees – trust your employees to
do what is right instead of instituting a myriad
of controls that show the opposite (95% rule)
• Publicly recognize and reward what you value
• Privately critique and discipline
