In this stage, consultation also provides an important role to keep processes on track. The final stage is the implementation and monitoring. Along with the five steps to implement a gainsharing plan there are four critical factors that must be involved in the company's implementation process to insure success. The first factor is simplicity. The formula to figure the incentive must be simple because complicated formulas cause confusion among workers.
Simplicity makes the anticipated pay gains linked to factors employees can control.
An example of this is controlling payroll or quality. Commitment is the second factor to success. There must be total commitment throughout the entire organization. Gainsharing has a better chance of success if management works to create a culture that emphasizes respect, cooperation, and open communication. Commitment also means that management must give workers the power to make changes in their jobs so they can realize productivity and quality gains.
