Summary

1. ""Participative management," "teamwork," and "pay for performance" are all great theories, but when it comes to lasting improvements, your company needs more than buzzwords. What your organization needs is a complete system that fosters lasting change and long term benefits for everybody." "GainManagement presents an innovative management process that can enable your organization to create and sustain continuous improvements in four critical areas: productivity, profitability, product quality, and quality of work life. The work of an organizational development expert and a training specialist, GainManagement describes a state of the art system whereby your organization can achieve higher levels of productivity and employees can reap both personal satisfaction and financial rewards. This comprehensive approach goes far beyond gainsharing and similar incentive compensation programs." "Unlike the top-down policies of the 1980s, GainManagement sets forth a truly participative system--a partnership built on principles of excellence, openness, equity, and teamwork that requires a complete integration of efforts on the part of all employees. This system is composed of three parts:" "GainPlanning--the management structure and practices needed to propel the organization forward" "GainMaking--the actual day-to-day process of teamwork that will make a company succeed" "GainSharing--the financial results and rewards of continuous improvement efforts, whereby employees are justly compensated and GainShares go to shareholders, customers, suppliers, and the community" "The book combines theory and practical how-to advice to explain the new GainManagement process. You'll see why gainsharing was misunderstood and ineffective, and learn how to design and implement GainManagement in your organization. You'll also find numerous examples, checklists, anecdotes, and illustrations to help you apply the authors' guidelines." "GainManagement replaces ineffective management practices of the past with a proactive partnership that is profitable, equitable, and enduring. In an age of corporate myopia, it is a business revelation--a comprehensive guide to improved teamwork and productivity that will transform your company's vision and ensure its survival."--Jacket.
