Incentive Plan Design: Prescription for Success
Janet Koechel of JFK Consulting will provide insight on how to design an effective incentive plan. She will review real case studies that illustrate incentive plan designs for five very different employee groups: executive, sales, hourly, nonexempt call center and a professional project team.   Learn from her experience and receive expert guidance on developing an incentive plan that meets your company’s strategic objectives.

  • Assess your company’s readiness for implementing an effective incentive plan;
  • Examine issues and obstacles such as selecting appropriate performance measures, line of sight, and other challenges;
  • Learn how to design a plan that reflects corporate strategy by reinforcing the right behaviors;
  • Discover how to integrate best practices and trends with innovative design features;
  • Learn about FLSA compliance issues which affect bonuses delivered to nonexempt and hourly employees;
  • Review design flaws/successes and how to develop the best model for both your employees and your company
