Using incentives to engage employees

Jonathan Watts-Lay, Director, WEALTH at work, comments on how incentives can be used to engage employees at Christmas time in the latest issue of Employee Benefits.  Watts-Lay comments “People who need to discuss their issues the most get so bogged down with their problems and can’t see the wood for the trees that they don’t go out looking for this stuff.”

Watts-Lay recalls a case involving a reliable employee who had worked for a public sector organisation for more than 20 years and whose performance levels had started to deteriorate. “The employer was almost going to sack her, but when it sat her down to try to understand what was going on, it discovered that credit card debt was the issue,” he says. “She had got herself into a situation which was taking over her life.”
