Rewarding Team and Individual Performance • Reward both the individual and team • Total Compensation • Reward at three levels • Base individual compensation • Individual incentive compensation • Team-based incentive compensation
Individual and Team Compensation System • Decide what performance to measure • Growth of marketing business • Determine how to measure performance • Number of new clients • Indentify rewards to be offered • Monetary per new client • Integrate related process • Be sure reward system fits with existing system
Nonmonetary Rewards • Intrinsic & Extrinsic motivation • Extrinsic motivation: money, vacation time, movie tickets • Intrinsic motivation: Helping each other, learning new skills. • To identify intrinsic motivators: ASK! • Different for each employee • Build rapport
Recognizing Teamwork & Team Players • Incentives must be sought after by individual and team. • MBTI “typing.” • Thinkers v. Feelers. • All employees want recognition after a job well done.
Leading Multicultural Teams • Culture related challenges: • Communication • Attitudes • Authority • Decision making
Strategies for Multicultural Teams • Adaptation • Accommodating cultural differences • Record problems/develop solutions • Structural intervention • Moving team members • Managerial guidance • Manager sets ground rules for interaction • Exit • Unhappy team members allow to leave • Last resort
