When properly planned and managed, sales incentive and variable compensation plans produce outstanding results for financial institutions. Major benefits of a well designed, well executed incentive plan include:
- Consistent motivation for employees
- Clearly defined reward system
- Quick and efficient measurement and monitoring of specific sales goals
- Trackable results that contribute toward key performance goals
Incentives also help to increase employee satisfaction, which can reduce turnover and contribute toward other corporate objectives, such as higher customer satisfaction and retention.
Surprisingly though, in spite of these far reaching positive effect, many financial institutions forgo or severely limit the scope of sales incentive and variable compensation plans. Reasons for curtailment vary, but generally revolve around one or more of the following:
- Inability to precisely align employee incentives with corporate goals
- Inability to accurately measure performance levels and link them to compensation
- Significant time and effort required to develop and modify incentive plans
