![Page 41: Reward June 2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555960b2d8b42a93708b4f50/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Rescuing motivation schemes that are failing 2 of 2
• POTENTIAL PITFALLS• The scheme design or reward offered is unsuitable for
employees’ age, sex or desires• The reward has a gimmicky quality that could be
perceived to insult the employees’ professionalism• The reward conflicts with the employees’ culture or
religion• The reward is offered for a target that is beyond the
employees’ reach• The gift is selected on the assumption that money is the
best motivator for everyone• The incentive is something that the employee already
has• The reward is not delivered in the way that it was
originally promised
