4 Principles Behind a Successful Incentive Program

Agent
Incentives
Quality
An incentive program must produce a positive return on investment, otherwise it’s not worthwhile. My benchmark is an improvement of at least 20% in KPI’s. The program cost should be around two hours worth of labor cost per employee per month. For example, if paying $12 per hour, plan to spend $18 to $30 per month on incentives and program administration. This results in an excellent ROI.

New Ways To Curb Employee Tardiness, Absenteeism and Turnover by Using Employee Selection and Online Games
Monday May 13th 6am
Unless I am missing something I don't think this article directly speaks to the described included topic of "tardiness". I think it is a good article overall, but as a Supervisor in a Customer Center I find that a direct approach to subject matter would be more valuable, versus looking for the "hidden" meaning in an article. These are my personal views of course. I would be most interested to read any additional comments posted by other readers.
