Short-term incentives can be highly effective in addressing areas of concern or to improve an already satisfactory performance. These incentives should be in addition to any existing commission or incentive schemes.
I would recommend that these incentives run no longer than three months at a time so that they cannot seen as being part of the long-term commission and incentive structures.
They should be simple and focused so that the results are evident in terms of improved performance by the business and increased earnings by the staff member. In my experience, these incentives often result in raising the bar to new heights – the improved performance became the normal performance.
It is imperative that these incentives are self-liquidating. I suggest it should be that 20% of the improved performance as the incentive and that 80% should go to the bottom line. Obviously, each situation is different and depending on the scheme, the split could differ substantially. Whatever the split, it is important that the staff member feels the benefit if it is achieved.
To keep the motivation going, performance with respect to these incentives should published to the team daily or weekly at least. Create a sense of friendly competition between the participating staff and celebrate successes with daily and/or weekly feedback.
