Safety in mind
MegaCorpCH is committed to worker safety. This gives all of its employees a warm, fuzzy feeling, for it means that the man
cares about us.
Since worker safety is paramount, then it's a compulsory 20% of everyone's personal goals. Which affects everyone's bonus. But, this is fair, right? After all, if I create a trip hazard in the office, then my personal safety bonus should reflect that. That's the way things should be.
But, MegaCorpCH is SO committed to safety that any lost-time injury, anywhere, will impact everyone's safety bonuses. As for an on-site, work-related death, then the safety portion of everyone's bonus is totally fucked.
Don't get me wrong, any worker's injury or demise outweighs a detriment to our bonuses. But that's not the point.
The point of personal goals is to recognise personal performance; the clue, for the benefit of executive management and HR, is in the word personal
. To tie any part to others' performance, outside the individual's own work group or sphere of influence, is to completely miss the point. Broader safety targets are a corporate goal.
Unless the point is to save money, by reducing bonuses across the company in one stroke! Perhaps the man
only cares about money after all? (thinking)
