Salary does stabilize at a certain productivity level, and that is why designing long-term incentive programs is key. By aligning rewards with productivity, organizations can tap into extra value created by teams and share a portion of that with them. This not only motivates but also encourages innovation over time.
The trick is to keep it balanced—rewarding without overwhelming, ensuring it boosts performance naturally rather than becoming a quick fix.
Incentives should be a catalyst, not a crutch. Celebrating small wins along the way can build momentum, helping teams gradually climb to those higher levels of achievement where creativity and ownership naturally flourish.
Incentives act as those initial steps toward mastery and intrinsic motivation, helping employees feel valued and appreciated while setting them up for long-term success.
