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.

There is an on-going debate that the optimum method to compensate employees is to reward them based on their productivity. In my opinion, I completely agree that it is the best way to influence individuals to give their best at work.

trend.
