Summary

What Information We'll Cover

This course delves into the traditional wage structures and the shortcomings they present, referencing the influential work of Dr. William B Abernathy in his seminal book, The Sin of Wages. From issues with piece-rate systems and profit-sharing, to the pitfalls of hourly wages, this course uncovers the issues with modern wage systems and how they impact organizational success and employee motivation. To resolve these limitations, we will unravel the complexities of pay for performance and learn about the benefits and challenges of implementing such systems. Learn about the critical components of the total performance system, including results versus behavior focus, cascading objectives, and performance scorecards. A full introduction to balanced performance scorecards is included, allowing attendees to better understand how to create performer scorecards within their businesses.
