is a truism to say that no matter how well it would perform any healthcare organization, it always could be improved. But when they are intended to enhance a healthcare organization is the staff, things get complex.
Classically, we have described two ways to encourage the staff of an organization, be it health or not. Families, these incentives have been called "stick" and "carrot."
The incentive club intends to "punish the bad" with the goal that he and his colleagues avoid unproductive behaviors. For example, in some companies, the tab with the time of entry and exit so that the tardy are punished for having all their working hours. Although incentives are effective stick largely good workers wake up in negative feelings. Something like "if I'm good and timely work, why my boss is afraid of me with this threat?".
Yes, the stick incentive is cruel, but even worse is the incentive carrot. The
carrot incentive is the opposite of this, since it does is "rewarding the good" to promote positive attitudes. The carrot incentive awards granted in economic times, when they achieve certain goals. But the disadvantages of any carrot are two:
1. Fight for the goal and not what really matters is what motivates the target. For example, if an award is proposed to save more paper, workers try to consume less and risks to stop writing.
2. When left to achieve the goal, do not get the carrot and the worker does not perceive it as having failed to obtain a wage supplement and not deserved, but as an unfair pay cut. And is that it is customary to receive money any faster.
should be understood that both clubs can serve as carrots to encourage asses, but the workers are not asses. So how should promote an attitude of improvement? Simple. In the case of health workers there is an advantage that is not present in other sectors.
The health worker is usually a motivated subject, the end of the day, everyone talks about the vocation that is needed to perform our jobs. It is also true that we are mavericks chronic, but not this a reflection of our desire to work in a better place and therefore of our vocation?
It's that easy. We wonder why we do not like to consult us what he can still do better. Do we participate in change initiatives and projects agreed by both parties and when not possible we give reasons why not. Because
motivation in a vocational subject is stronger than a stick and hit more than a diet satisfies based on carrots.
