Why you should read Pay People Right
According to Patricia K. Zingheim and Jay R. Schuster, if you improve the way you pay and reward your employees, you will motivate them more effectively and enhance their performance. The authors provide a variety of tools for implementing improved reward systems, based on six reward principles and four components of total rewards, including compensation and celebration of individual and team performance. The book includes examples of companies that have improved performance by revamping rewards, though it focuses mostly on when and how to use specific reward strategies. As this step-by-step precis might hint, this generally clear, straightforward book does have some dusty patches where it is dense, dry and didactic. getabstract recommends it, despite the parched spots, to executives and company owners who want to get maximum bang for their salary bucks.
