The first or second largest expense in almost every organization is labor. Studies show that 60-75% of an organization’s overhead expenses are consumed by their people.
Organizations must:
- Assess the top line versus cost structure.
- Cut discretionary spending.
- Ensure employee commitment during cost cutting by asking them how to minimize cost.
- Identify the day-to-today actions staff must perform to drive value.
- Attract and keep top talent by rewarding performance not putting in time.
- Create a value mindset by linking staff actions and incentives with business value drivers
- Ensure full engagement of employees by providing highly valued low cost incentives.
- Objectively differentiate those that add value and those that don’t.
- Reduce head count based on objective assessment of skill and motivation.
- Reward staff for measurably improving individual or organizational performance.
- Make managers and frontline supervisors reward employee merit.
- Objectively separate those that add value and those that don’t
- Close the skill gap between highest and lowest performer.
- Pay-For-Performance, quantify management skill Level.
- Increase innovation and alignment, quantify leadership skill level.
- Pay For Performance, accurately measure employee skill level.
- Motivate or replace, accurately measure employee motivation level.
- Reduce costs with non-financial incentives that engage employees, and drive performance.
