The management of the organization must have the idea to determine the returns on the
investment. The HR Management of the company must have a proper estimate on the returns it
will get after investment on a variety of different expenditures. This includes the expenditures on
the capital items, marketing, sales, promotion and technology (Lazaroiu 2015). The HR
department of the organization must make sure that the organization has a dedicated reward
strategy to motivate the employees and achieve the different goals of the organization. The
introduction to the new system of management helps the organization to review the reward
policies, devising the new incentives or the bonus schemes or directly linking the annual pay
rewards (Temminck Mearns and Fruhen 2015). The organizations can only achieve their goals if

roles and responsibilities within the organization (Maruping and Magni 2015). As said earlier benefits provided to the employees are useful for the organization to boost
the job performance. Rise of payment, extra bonuses, stock options and sharing of the
profit of the company are some of the examples of benefits provided to employees of
different organizations. The employees can approach the management or any higher authority on some issue and
ask for a benefit. The leaders in the management can help to address the problems
accordingly. Inputs from the working employees will help the organization to motivate
the employees more easily and efficiently.
The importance of job design cannot be avoided in the organizational set up and it
contributes greatly to the success of the organization. The process by which a job is designed has
a huge impact on employee motivation and job satisfaction (Pee and Lee 2015). The earliest
