Present a written argument or case to an educated non-specialist audience on the following topic: Some employers reward members of staff for their exceptional contribution to the company by giving them extra money. This practice can act as an incentive for some but may also have a negative impact on others. To what extent is this style of management effective? Are there better ways of encouraging employees to work hard?

Excellent

performance

by employees in an organisation is usually rewarded in different ways and giving

money

to the best

employee

is a common trend in most of the organisations. Though

this

is a good

way

to motivate employees to

work

harder and better and engage in a positive competition, some people opine that

this

is not the best

way

to encourage

employee

. They think that there are better alternatives for

this

type of rewards. In my opinion

money

as a reward in combination with other motivations can be the best

way

for

Suggestion

of

encouraging people to

work

harder.

First

of all, one of the main reasons people

work

in an office is

money

. No matter how cordially we deny the fact that we

work

for

money

, the reality is we need

money

to support our family, our personal needs and to live in

this

world. There are definitely other factors like job satisfaction, passion for

work

, working environment, career prospect, relationship with co-workers and bosses that determine whether an

employee

is motivated to

work

in an organisation or

not but

Accept comma addition

not, but

the

money

the

employee

gets at the end of each week or

month

is the main determining factor. From

this

regard, additional

money

as a reward for exceptional contribution by a staff is the best

way

to motivate him. Some people would argue that there are definitely better ways to motivate an

employee

for an exceptional

performance

like allowing extended holidays, giving crest, congratulating and praising. They

also

think that giving

money

to the

employee

of the

month

has a detrimental impact on others. I quite disagree with

this

opinion from my personal experience. I worked in a multinational company where more than 200 people worked. The best

employee

of the

month

used to get more than $600 and a certificate.

This

worked quite well as most of the employees in different teams wanted to be the

employee

of the

month

for the prestige and the

money

. I am pretty positive that other forms of rewards would have motivated employees for a short period but would not ignite the

performance

completion among employees in a long run. Again, I think that giving additional

money

to an

employee

for his

work

performance

would not create any negative impact on others. Any form of rewards like a plane ticket, crest, certificate, holidays is quite restricted in terms of their utilisation while

money

Suggestion

the money

would give the

employee

complete freedom on how to spend it.

For

instance what

Accept comma addition

instance, what

if an

employee

wants to buy his mother a gift with the additional

money

he might earns- only

money

as a reward would ensure that.

Finally

, the motivations and encouragements are not universal and

hence

do not apply

for

Suggestion

to

all.

This

varies from person to person. While

money

can motivate the majority of the employees some of them might already have it in plenty and could find motivation from the praising and positive feedbacks from bosses. From

this

regards, congratulations from higher authority, certificate along with the

money

would be most effective to inspire workers to

work

even better in my opinion. I would like to conclude my essay saying that

money

with proper recognition

for

Suggestion

of

the best performing

employee

could be the best

way

to

motive

motivate

and inspire employees in an organisation to

work

smarter and harder.
