Financial Incentives and Reward Systems

In this segment, you will examine the financial incentives and reward systems for attaining or exceeding objectives.

Who Should Receive Financial Incentives

Examine the professional roles who are able to receive financial incentives in health care. For example, which roles are legally eligible to be paid a monetary incentive? How are the monetary incentives related to the organization’s strategic plans? You may wish to discuss ethical concerns related to this type of incentive.

Reward Options for Those Who Do Not Receive Financial Incentives

Examine the professional roles who are not able to receive financial incentives in health care. In this segment, you may wish to consider the morale of the employees and how that is impacted by non-monetary rewards. You may wish to consider the employees’ perception of rewards that are limited in scope, such as employee-of-the-month awards, that have no additional incentive other than the recognition. Are these motivating or demotivating?

Management Action Options for Unachieved Objectives

In this segment, you will discuss at least two management actions that could be taken when organization-wide and functional objectives are not achieved. This can apply to an individual leader, to a small team, or to an entire department. Provide rationale for each management action identified.

State Action 1 Heading

Consider actions that will be effective in motivating employees to perform to the expectations of the objectives outlined in the strategic plan. Consider how the action may act as a demotivator as well. You may want to include details related to how the action identified will be communicated to the employees affected by the action. Provide your rationale for the method indicated.

State Action 2 Heading

Consider actions that will be effective in motivating employees to perform to the expectations of the objectives outlined in the strategic plan.

Provide your rationale for the method indicated.
