When he began paying his employees dividends out of his own pocket he discovered that a small bonus was enough to encourage employees to perform above what their job descriptions required.
The difference between what a worker is required to do and the higher level of performance a worker is capable of is known as "discretionary effort." It turns out that the cash Eastman handed to his employees might not have been as important as the fact that he took the time to recognize their contributions.
In just two days, on Wednesday, June 16th at 2 PM, I will be speaking during Inventive Magazine's live free webinar, "Engagement in the Post-Recession Economy."
