Unlocking the Power of Incentive Plans: Turning Entitlement Into Performance
Entrepreneurial leaders often are frustrated that their incentive plans foster entitlement rather than drive results. Many plans miss the mark because they’re overly complex and lack the organizational training needed to connect employees’ efforts to profit creation and to the rewards they receive. This session we will demystify incentive plans and provide practical strategies for transforming them into simple, self-funded, supported tools that inspire action and deliver measurable results. Whether revamping an existing plan or starting fresh, you’ll leave with actionable insights to build an effective, motivating incentive program that drives real value.

- Engage and Empower: Learn how to educate employees on your business’s key drivers, connect their daily tasks to your broader vision, and align their efforts with the incentive plan.
