Some people think the best way to motivate and encourage people to work hard is to pay them based on how much they produce and sell. Do you agree or disagree? Include relevant examples from your own experience.
It is being argued by some that paying employees based on
productivity
is the ultimate means of inspiring hard work
. I disagree this
is the best way
, owing to the fact that it creates unethical behaviour amongst other things. Salary review, reward and recognition scheme as well as career development
in my opinion are better ways of motivating employees to work
hard.
To start with, employees will put in effort to achieve great productivity
when they are aware of a career development
plan in place to ensure a long term sustainability rather than instant gratification such
as sales bonus. This
creates a win-win situation, they will work
hard to ensure the business suceeds
knowing their attain success or reach a desired goal

development
is dependent on it. In addition
, having a periodic salary review based on set performance index will encourage people to work
hard in anticipation of salary increment.
Furthermore
, another way
to drive productivity
is having a scheme that takes into cognizance employees

welfare, such

as healthcare, transportation, insurance plan, annual leave and so on; thus
creating a sense of belonging and stimulating diligence. For example
, I have a health insurance scheme and I am assured I can access healthcare services as and when due. Another point to note is that hard work
can be triggered by having a reward and recognition program that acknowledges good performance. For example
, a 'wall of fame' for outstanding employees will encourage people as everybody loves to be celebrated.
