Redefine Rewards

Companies should redefine their incentive programs to avoid misunderstanding and disappointments. Majority think that bonuses help produce better work from people. In reality, rewards and incentives affect quality of work very minimally.  Its effect is only at the beginning. Then count the days and everything else will be normal and most employees can’t wait for the next rewards period to come while whining about how underpaid they are. Rewards should be redefined from something given for a job well done to an incentive that goes with the freedom to do the work that people like. That is assuming that the work and the environment that the employees are in are decent and just right. If not, then no rewards or incentives can make them stay and satisfied.
