Chapter 12 is all about different incentives and pay plans to keep employees satisfied with the company and want to stay and help the business succeed. It explains all the different pay plans in detail, like incentive pay, piecework rate, differential piece rates, merit pay, etc. This chapter also discusses the processes that make incentives work.
- - Emotional Hook:
My emotional hook with this chapter was reading about the incentives that really work. I enjoyed reading about this because at my last job I know it made a huge difference when I was able to make help decisions. It made me want to work harder because I was involved in the decision and wanted it to succeed.

It is important that there is communication within the company if pay incentives are to work. People need to feel as though they have say in the incentive programs and feel like the pay is fair.
