Purpose Driven Team- Part 4
"What's a in it for me?" Lee Colan's forth question
Most corporate incentive systems are either carrot or stick type. Either you punish the employee for not achieving or reward them for succeeding. Let us focus on the reward aspect.
I have seen people get rewarded and they are angry with the boss our company. Everyone does not value money as the only reward. Rewards are only meaningful if the individual values it. If I value time but my boss rewards me by giving me financial bonus I would only see it as a partial fulfillment. I would prefer maybe a smaller reward with time off to enjoy it.
I believe that a new reward type that we will see is to provide employees with an experience. Maybe a paid trip to a dental mission in Africa would be the most fulfilling experience that an employee would find most rewarding? Maybe the ability to work in a soup kitchen every Friday? Reward is very individual and needs to be understood.
Today's question is:
"What reward do you value the most?"
