  5. Pay-for-Performance Programs: Implement pay-for-performance initiatives, where exceptional performance is rewarded with higher bonuses or salary increases.

  6. Employee Recognition: Establish a culture of recognition, acknowledging outstanding contributions through various rewards and incentives.

  7. Long-Term Incentives: Consider long-term incentives like stock options or profit-sharing plans to encourage employee loyalty and commitment to the company's success.

Certain observations on above topic :-

1. Bench marking with similar nature of organizations engaged in similar nature of business.

2. Bonus may be classified in to two categories - Statutory Bonus and Profit sharing Bonus/incentives. Statutory bonus should be as per PB Act but profit sharing bonus/incentive should be based on two criteria - individual performance and organizational performance. It may be 30% of target on individual performance and 70% of target on organizational performance.
