Incentive scheme- organizational change
It has been observed that change in the workplace has an essential role in the workplace. It is
important for the employees to accept the change so that activities can be managed smoothly.
Organizational change can take place in strategies, technologies and also in the process of
recruitment. If in the workplace the changes are accepted positively then it can help the company
to boost the efficiency of the employees. The company which is named by “SONS AND SONS
COMPANY” also focused on bringing changes in the incentive scheme so that motivation of the
employees can be boosted towards the assigned task. In the workplace, the performance of the
employees was not good and due to this the negative affect has been observed on the overall
growth of the company. Also, it can be said that changes made in the process can help to boost
the growth and it emphasizes on enhancing the engagement level of the employees towards work
(Bolman and Deal, 2017). The company deals in manufacturing of the imported chocolates. So,
in this area it is important for the employees to give their best so that growth can be attained.
When higher authorities evaluated the overall performance of the employees, then they decided
to bring change in the incentive schemes so that motivation of the employees can be enhanced.
The modification was made in the incentive policy so that employees can feel happy and
motivated towards the activities which are assigned to them in the workplace. Also, the change
has been brought due to the issue related to lack of motivation. It is important to motivate the
employees so that they can work with dedication and can meet their set targets. The changes
were made in every branch of the company. Earlier, the incentive structure is set when the
employees attained the highest targets of manufacturing 90,000 chocolates in a month. But by
setting this target for the employees, the management was not able to attain positive outcome.
Also, the employees were not satisfied with the decision taken by the company and there are
many skilled and trained employees who left the workplace just due to this reason. The decision
taken by the company of setting the target of 90,000 was not good, so they decided to make
modification in the entire incentive scheme offered to the employees. The discussion was made
with the higher authorities and also with the team leaders.
So, by discussing with the team leaders the company gets to know that employees are not
satisfied and motivated with the decision that was taken of the targets. So, the directors thought

of implementing the change in the incentive structure so that the employees can get the chance of
earning more. The idea of bringing change in the incentive scheme was initiated by the team
leaders as they were able to analyze the issue faced by the team employees.
So, by analyzing the entire situation the changes were made in which the target set by the
company previously was reduced and also the offer was given to the employees to earn the
incentive on the slab of 60,000 chocolates a month. If the employee is able to manufacture
60,000 chocolates in a month then for the first 1,000 chocolates they will get 3000, then for
second 1000 chocolates they will earn more 3,500 and for more than this the bar has been set in
which the employees will earn 4000 after the completion of 1,000 chocolates. So, the slab of
earning the incentives has to been lowered with the reduced in the overall targets. When the slab
was lowered for the employees, the satisfaction boosted of the employees. They focused on
working with dedication as it is the best opportunity for them to earn more with the fixed salary.
It was the best concept introduced by the company so that the issue related to lack of motivation
can be boosted. By implementing the change in incentive scheme, the employees drop their plan
to leave the organization.
Also, the incentive scheme was changed of the team leaders. It was done as team leader are the
one who guide their employees and motivate them to work hard. If the employees give their best
and enhance the productivity of the team then they have the chance to earn incentives. So, they
have offered the opportunity of earning the incentives by crossing 3, 00000 per month of the
overall team. If the team target crosses 3, 00000 then they have the chance to earn the fixed
amount of 8,000 a month. This strategy was applied so that it can be easy to enhance the
motivation of the employees who are conducting their routine activities. With the change in the
incentive scheme of the team leader, the motivation has been boosted and also the willingness of
motivate the team members to give their best has been enhanced.
At that time of moment, it has been experienced that motivation should be there within the
employees so that it can be easy for the employees to dedicatedly work with efficiency towards
the activities of the company (Kaufman, 2017). Also, it has been observed that employees
focused on boosting their productivity of chocolates so that they can earn more. This has also
enhanced positive culture in the workplace which has also impacted the mindset of the
