Your organization, an Abu Dhabi-based public healthcare provider, is planning to introduce a pay-for-performance system to enhance the employees’ productivity and motivation (Mainly the nurses). Your supervisor, the HR Director asked you to draft a plan for introducing such a system. He’s particularly worried about the fact that pay-for-performance might not work well in public sector organizations, a theory that you reject. Using the course material, the two below-listed references (attached on Moodle) and other references of your choice, write a five-page report where you:
Explain the advantages and risks of the pay-for-performance system.
Identify the steps and the components of your plan.
Demonstrate how your system will help motivate and increase the productivity of the nurses.
Important:
The two attached papers are mandatory reads, but you need to use more references.
There will be a team presentation at the end of the Fall Term.
The references that you used to write the report should be cited at the end of the report.
Plagiarism is detectable through Moodle-embedded system.
