Some excerpts follow:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne CEO I know says to employees, \u2018If you tell me I can\u2019t measure what you\u2019re doing, I\u2019m not sure I need you here,\u2019\u201d recalls Michael Emig, a compensation consultant with Wyatt Co. in Washington. \u201cThe fact is, any work that people are paid to do can be measured. The trick is to go in with an open mind.\u201d&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>To help ensure that productivity goals are met, the paychecks of top managers now reflect their ability to meet department goals, a compensation plan that eventually will spread throughout the hospital. According to Arthur Andersen &#038; Co., which consulted Pekin Memorial on its plan, the keystone to implementing productivity bonuses is putting everything in measurable terms, considering such factors as accuracy, speed, cost, quality\u2014even creativity&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Once the job has been quantified, the next step is to examine the processes by which work is done, dividing them into those that add value and those that don\u2019t. Those that don\u2019t should be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show white-collar workers on average spend 75 percent of their time doing non-value-added tasks, Skwarek said. But defining the waste and eliminating it are two different things. And for productivity to increase, proper employment of the compensation lever is critical.<\/p>\n<p>A bank teller might be rewarded for the number of customers processed in a week, but penalized for every customer who complains about service. In jobs where it\u2019s difficult to measure the output of a single worker [emphasis in original], compensation might be linked to a group\u2019s ability to meet certain goals, an increasingly common approach.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the approach, Wyatt\u2019s Emig encourages companies to think big\u2014meaning bonuses as high as 25 percent of salary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe basic idea is borrowed from B.F. Skinner, who taught us that behavior which is positively reinforced will be repeated,\u201d says Emig. \u201cBut it doesn\u2019t work if people don\u2019t consider the money worth striving for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[Ed.
