Abstract

Results from a benchmarking study of modular home manufacturers have indicated that two-thirds of those companies studied have active employee incentive schemes. The study also pointed out that although management likes the concept of rewarding performance, companies are not satisfied with current incentive programs. This paper summarizes the results of this study and presents an overview of an innovative employee reward model for modular home manufacturers. Based on the concept of gainsharing, the model seeks to share company profits with employees based on a portfolio of operational performance measures. Suggested measures address key objectives relating to safety, quality, productivity and work force stability.
