Performance Pays
At one time, the high cost of workers' comp was the #1 workplace
issue for our customers. But virtually all of these companies
have seen this problem minimized through the use of Safety Pays.
In fact, it's been so successful, that more and more of our
clients are calling to ask how to use our incentive program
to address other issues. |

At first, we simply suggested making a few modifications to the game,
but soon discovered that what most of our customers wanted was a totally
separate approach which specifically targeted their problems. What
made this tough was that each of our customers is confronting something
unique to their type of business.
Unlike workers' comp where the goal is the same for all businesses
-- namely, to reduce, if not eliminate on-the-job injuries -- when
it comes to other employee-oriented issues (productivity, quality
control, etc.), each company's problem is different. Afterall, while
ABC Corporation is worried about the amount of raw materials wasted
in production, XYZ Company is concerned about equipment down-time
in their manufacturing process. For a construction firm, meeting a
deadline may be the difference between profit and loss on a job, whereas
the way a hotel or restaurant's customers are serviced can be what
makes or breaks the bottom line. For many retail and wholesale stores,
the biggest concern is inventory control, while other companies fight
an on-going attendance problem. And what business isn't interested
in seeing its sales force increase their numbers?
So what's the key? The employees' performance, of course! This may
be stating the obvious, but the bottom line for every owner, manager
or supervisor is the same: either increase the level of "good"
performance from a workforce or decrease the level of its "bad"
performance. Unfortunately, to accomplish this, we all too often rely
on the same worn-out approaches: Do a good job, get a bonus...maybe
(assuming the company is profitable). Do a bad job and face probation,
suspension or dismissal. Well, those of us who have used Safety Pays
know there's a heck of a lot better way to motivate a company's employees...and
in a way that not only benefits both management and its workforce,
but where everyone has a little fun in the process. We are, therefore,
pleased to announce the immediate availability of Performance Pay$,
a new program to address virtually all of your non-risk oriented employee
issues.
Performance Pay$ offers the same incentive strategies which have worked
so successfully with Safety Pays, yet it's an entirely new program
design which differs significantly in a number of fundamental ways.
In addition to its own original component parts, it's entirely customized.
What does this mean? The Performance Pay$ rule and regulations, jackpot
triggers, and employee bonuses will all be custom designed specifically
for the needs of your workplace. That's right! We'll tailor your Performance
Pay$ program to precisely what you need to accomplish with your workforce.
Meanwhile, this new program incorporates the primary motivational
technique which works so well with Safety Pays; namely, linking the
awards the employees receive to overall workforce success. Once again,
our underlying purpose is to create an atmosphere of teamwork and
healthy peer group pressure to achieve management's aims. Moreover,
Performance Pay$ features a distinctive new bonus component which
acknowledges individual performance by making those employees who
contribute the most toward the group's success eligible for bigger
and better rewards. Put that together with our other time-tested motivational
elements -- employee recognition, employee suggestions, non-threatening
discipline & correction techniques, and several other innovative
incentive strategies -- and you have an exciting new way to encourage
employees to both meet and exceed whatever goals management puts in
front of them.
