Incentive schemes are an important tool for ensuring that employees and leadership are working towards the same objectives and goals. Thus, it is important to establish a direct relationship between the company's strategy and the target setting process that drives the motivation of the employees.
Occasionally it is necessary to go beyond the immediate process (define goals and issue target letters etc.) as the data for the targets, the leader wants to incorporate, are not available, or are available, however the information or data is not reliable and accurate enough to be applied for target calculation in the incentive schemes. Here is a need for reviewing the corporate reporting processes, so the direct link between the employee's remuneration and company's achievement of the strategic and financial goals can be established.
Even when the company has reliable and secure data and information available to evaluate the target achievements, it is important that the leadership regularly reviews whether each individual has the right targets and incentive models to support their strategic and operational direction.
Depending on the industry of the company the response time of the market may differ, and it may be worth considering whether the target period is correct, e.g. should be monthly, quarterly or annually? The pay-out frequency can be monthly, quarterly or yearly independent of the target period, which may give desired behaviours that the leadership wants to incentivise.
