Gainsharing and Power
We don't see many books specifically comparing Gainsharing results; so this is a welcome contribution, published by Cornell University in February 1998. The author Denis Collins studied six companies that used Scanlon-type Gainsharing programs and in this book he explains each of these plans. He also describes the concerns of workers, managers, and unions, and the political games that sometimes affected success. He offers his own theory of gainsharing based on conflicts of interest at work. For more information click on the title.
(272 pages). Gainsharing & Power: Lessons from Six Scanlon Plans
This is a refreshing change, a book on remuneration that recognises the vital role of pay in organisational change. While most businesses have been radically updating their notions of quality, service, customers and hierarchy, they have done nothing to
modernize their pay philosophies or strategies for decades. The authors
(senior consultants with the Hay Group) identify the most common work cultures and explain how to align innovative pay policies with each type. Gainsharing gets favourable mention!
