Linking Inclusion to Incentive Pay
In the economic and technological climate of today, where companies and institutions are facing demands of various stakeholders, the potential loss of employees and an aging workforce, the need to recruit, engage and reward high performing staff continues. Incentive plans have been used by organizations to motivate, recruit, and retain high performing staff. Historically, incentive plans were limited to executives and/or senior management. Over time, organizations benefited from high performing employees by seeing increased profit margins. Over the past decade, as the global markets have challenged U.S. based organizations to think and expand globally, organizations have either added or enhanced their incentive plans to include some form of diversity. The diversity component, which varies according to the company's mission, can center on the recruitment and retention of diverse staff or focus on increasing staff's core competencies in the area of diversity and inclusion.
The Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC), a worldwide library services organization headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, is a leader in information technologies and innovative online services. With office locations around the globe, OCLC employees are dedicated to offering premier services and software to help libraries cut costs while keeping pace with the demands of our information-driven society.
This webinar will focus on OCLC's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion by offering incentive pay along with other strategies. Participants will discuss:
- Historical Overview - Why an Incentive for Inclusion
- Components of the Inclusion Scorecard
- Program Management and Support from Senior Leaders
- Day-to-Day Program Management
- Tools Used for Buy-In
- Challenges to Managing an Incentive based program
- Success Stories
