STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Often workers or employees are
attracted to certain organizations not only because of the pay packets that are
stated in the advert but also because of the benefits attached to them: These
benefits usually include housing, transports and medical allowances to mention
but a few.
These attractions may constitute a
considerable objective in which such individuals make up their mind to serve in
such organization. The absence or reduction in these primary attractions of
such individuals into the organization will certainly lower the morale as well
as efficiency of such individual’s performance, which will in turn reflect on
the organization’s productivity.
Examples abound where organizations
in recent times, have been faced with instant agitation from the workers union
and staff association for the poor administration of existing incentives or
total withdrawal of these benefits. These are the dissatisfactions expressed by
the staff either on the provision or administration of staff incentive service.
Activities become same serious problems, which demand my proper investigation
and examination in order to find lasting solution to them.
