EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS: ESTABLISHING

Course overview

Employee incentive programs aim to motivate employees to maintain employment, achieve professional development goals, and/or meet or exceed organizational standards. Employee incentive programs are established on the premise that it is more cost-effective over the long term to retain current employees, stimulate staff development, and improve employee performance than it is to hire and train new employees due to avoidable turnover. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of how to participate in the establishment of a successful employee incentive program in the healthcare setting. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
