?? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TURN PAY INTO A GROWTH DRIVER? Business leaders often face two conflicting priorities: ??Attract and retain top talent to drive growth. ??Protect profitability and ensure incentive payouts are truly earned. THESE DON'T NEED TO BE IN CONFLICT. YOU CAN ACHIEVE BOTH. A well-designed long-term incentive plan (LTIP) lets you reward long-term value creation without giving up equity or diluting profits. Here are six popular LTIP options: ?Phantom Stock ?Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) ?Performance Units ?Deferred Bonus Plans ?Profit Pools ?Strategic Deferred Compensation Learn how to turn pay into a growth driver.

?? STUDIES SAY FINANCIAL REWARDS DON’T MOTIVATE. ? STUDIES ARE WRONG ?? Well, at least the research and conclusions are INCOMPLETE. For decades, there has been a debate whether you can affect employee engagement and motivation through incentive compensation or other financial rewards. And most articles and books come down on the side of “no, you can’t.” The problem with the research is that it is measuring something that cannot be measured. ?? THERE ARE 6 THINGS HIGH-IMPACT EMPLOYEES look at in evaluating the pay offering of their employer. ?? NONE OF THEM SHOW UP IN THE RESEARCH. To unlock these 6 criteria and see why they matter to your people, read, “The Impact of Pay on Employee Motivation”: https://lnkd.in/gFUmGssX #incentivecompensation #compensationandbenefits #employeemotivation #engagement #management #business

HOW MUCH is not as important as HOW you pay your people. Compensation should be used as a strategic tool to reinforce: 1. Role Priorities 2. Financial Targets 3. Performance Standards 4. Growth Goals …and more Consequently, your pay strategy should not be based solely on the amount market pay data says you should be paying for each position in your company. It should be driven by the outcomes you want your people to produce in their roles.

?? PRODUCTIVITY PROFIT TRANSFORMS INCENTIVES INTO VALUE-SHARING, AND VALUE-SHARING TRANSFORMS YOUR PEOPLE INTO GROWTH PARTNERS! ?? ?? To learn more about PRODUCTIVITY PROFIT and start transforming your people into growth partners, ?????? READ, “HOW TO CREATE AN INCENTIVE PLAN THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF”: https://lnkd.in/gFTHnjwR The premise of productive profit is that your company must meet a value creation threshold before it shares value with its people (makes incentive plan payments). ?? MOST COMPANY LEADERS DON’T KNOW HOW TO DEFINE VALUE CREATION FOR THEIR BUSINESSES. ?? Consequently, they end up highly dissatisfied with their incentive plans because THEY DON’T SEE SUFFICIENT RESULTS FOR THE PERFORMANCE REWARDS THEY ARE PAYING. ?? CALCULATING YOUR PERFORMANCE PROFIT SOLVES THAT PROBLEM.
