As an manager, you understand the employee behaviors that create success, but how do you motivate your employees to apply them more consistently?
Maybe the tool you need is an employee incentive plan with the right rewards.

Productivity Based Incentives
In this type of plan, the objective is to increase production on a time basis. As an example, if you make widgets, then if production increases by 10%/month, then the team gets a reward.
