The Importance of a Company-Wide Bonus Plan

Crafting an effective company-wide bonus plan can significantly enhance organizational performance. A well-structured bonus system motivates employees but can also lead to unintended consequences if not designed carefully. For instance, rewarding customer support staff for the number of tickets resolved may encourage them to avoid complex issues, impacting customer satisfaction. A good bonus plan should prioritize simplicity, alignment with company goals, and ease of measurement to avoid discouraging desired behaviors.
