Incentive Plan Design: The Secret to Getting it Right

Course Description:

Performance plans are difficult to get right.  Even the best intended incentive plans often fail.  When you get it wrong the consequences can be disastrous.  Yet, when done right, incentive based pay can help your company thrive.

The key is finding the right hybrid that breeds strong commitment and loyalty in addition to financial compensation.  Getting the right mix of salary and incentives, ensuring your plan encourages the right behaviors and sets realistic goals is fundamental to its success.

Find out how to design an incentive plan that’s 1) in-line with your organization’s overall strategy, 2) clear, concise and communicated effectively to your employees, and 3) delivers the results you want.
