Why you should read Rewards That Drive High Performance

Tom Wilson’s premise: Employee incentives are just as important to corporations as they are to employees. Why? Because a company that aligns its own achievement with that of its employees is well on its way to success. Wilson uses a wide range of case studies to bolster his common- sense advice, including reminders that your employee rewards plan should be simple to understand, geared toward the kind of people you want to attract and should frequently vary. Even the most experienced manager can stand to learn a thing or two from Wilson’s keen analysis of Amazon.com, Southwest Airlines, Saturn, and a host of other successful businesses. getAbstract.com thinks that you owe it to yourself - and to your employees - to read this well-crafted book.
