Overview of the webinar

Organizations spend an enormous amount of time, energy, and resources each year to set their organizational goals. To attain those goals, a company relies on their greatest asset: their employees. Employees who feel recognized demonstrate a stronger desire to help the company grow and succeed. Therefore, having a pay for performance system incorporated into your organizational structure could leverage employee engagement and enhanced overall organizational performance.

One methodology used to increase an organization’s productivity and profitability is to link performance pay with the organization’s goals. When instituting a pay-for-performance system, companies focus on translating organizational goals into performance measures at every level of the organization, from senior leaders on down. Discover how linking performance pay with organizational goals can boost productivity and benefit your organization.
