Subtopic: "Paralyzing Merit"
The merit system has been criticized for its paralyzing effects on employee motivation. Is it time to rethink our approach to rewards and recognition?
Some argue that the current system is too Merit-by-Numbers, relying too heavily on arbitrary metrics and benchmarks.
One possible alternative is to adopt a Merit-by-Actual-Achievement system, where rewards are based on tangible results rather than abstract targets.
Another option is to Merit-by-Popularity, where rewards are based on employee popularity contests.
