What you do to be another

Are you struggling as HR Professional to prove a point
While every company wants to be another Google,
there are few things which Google and few other companies
seem to do very well in creating the “WOW” for employees,
others do not even seem to be able to replicate those ideas.

I tried to understand the reason behind this and came to the
conclusion that the differentiator is the mindset and sincerity of
leadership combined with lack of depth in the knowledge about
the psychology behind rewards.

In Business schools, HR professionals are taught everything about
the intrinsic and extrinsic driving force.
So you want to use that knowledge and want to prove your
competency by initiating the reward system if there is none or by
attempting to change the existing system.

The other easiest thing you can attempt is to tinker with
Employee Performance Appraisal system.
Both systems are metaphorically weapons of mass destruction, if
not handled properly.

What they don’t teach in business school is about the obstacles
that come in the way to sell the idea to the top management and
how to build the business case for rewards.

a cornerstone of experimental psychology, shedding light on
complex human emotions.”

The conditioning experiment conducted in the laboratory
conditions where animals were subjected to reward and coaxed
to repeat a behavior, in some way had relevance to human
behavior and learning.

This learning theory appeals to every HR professional for trying
out reward programs without realizing that what works for
animals does not work for humans.

There is also evidence in research findings with animals to
indicate that increasing intensity or level of driving force works
up to a point, but it fails to keep enhancing the learning
and performance.

Even the application of The Yerkes-Dodson law stated an
empirical relationship between arousal and performance. It was
developed in 1908 and described that performance increases
with physiological or mental arousal, but only up to a point.
Unfortunately the finding did not go beyond the laboratory.

In work environment, even a simple award program
can have much broader and complex impact on the
individual and collective behavior.
Therefore the need to get a deeper
understanding of the subject is sine qua non.
