Issue at hand
Our client was experiencing low productivity in its existing pool of human resources, and saw stagnant revenue figures for a long period of about 7 years. Additionally, the owner was able to identify opportunities in the regional business environment, but he did not have a plan for a way forward.
Solutions
Leap proposed that contracts be made with division-heads to introduce pay-for-performance, thereby splitting their pays into variable and fixed components.
Leap developed a strategy plan to increase their efficiency and productivity, and to explore other business opportunities. Leap also recommended that periodical business performance reviews, Monthly Performance Reviews (MPRs,) be conducted to stay aligned with the strategy plan so formulated.
Outcome
The idea regarding pay-for-performance boosted the morale and willingness of personnel to exceed their calibre, thereby increasing overall productivity in the organization. The MPRs also had an immensely positive impact, in terms that any and all deviations against the plans were timely identified and the correct courses of action were taken.
