The missing piece is incentives. Typically this incentive is thought of as financial, we have seen that financial incentives are beneficial sometimes and they are not the only incentive that can ensure your plan happens.

To motivate, manage, and reward B2B salespeople, many companies use sales incentive plans that link large commissions or bonuses to individual results metrics, such as territory quota achievement. As digital channels continue to reduce and redefine salespeople’s role in customer buying, these traditional sales incentive plans are becoming less effective at driving sales outcomes. The right sales incentive plan creates a double win.

In a recent study conducted in a California hospital, I found that that the type of incentive matters. Communication about the initiative made it very clear that this was a one-time incentive. In other words, while the specific goal and monetary incentive was new, as was the frequency of feedback, the information workers had access to about the effects of neglecting hand hygiene, and the way compliance was monitored, was not. What motivates people to change the way they work?

In the five years since the advent of Dodd-Frank regulation, corporate governance groups, with their policies requiring at least half of long-term incentives to be “performance-based,” have pushed companies to replace options with multi-year, performance plans. The logical performance period for long-term incentives is one that matches those cycles. Today, four out of five S&P 500 companies use a three-year performance period in their long-term incentives.

Offering employees performance-based incentive pay is one common approach, and it usually takes one of two forms: bonuses are offered to individuals based on assessments of their performance, or bonuses are offered as organization-wide incentives, such as profit-related pay or share ownership. Sometimes, these incentives work in ways managers intended them to. But our results regarding work intensity and individual-based incentive pay should give managers pause.
