Hospital incentive plan boosts innovation, teamwork, and financial success.
Winchester Hospital in Massachusetts created a program to reward middle managers and staff for coming up with projects that save money for the hospital. Employees can choose to work on projects alone or with a team. The program has led to more team projects being suggested since it started in 1994. This program not only helps the hospital make more money but also gives employees a chance to earn extra pay based on their performance. It encourages teamwork, breaks down barriers between departments, and motivates employees to solve problems and compete in a positive way.
