Step 1) Read the statement and report in full below:
“The U.S. construction industry has an enormous opportunity
to improve the effectiveness of the incentives offered to employees for
increasing return on their investment and driving the desired outcomes and behaviors”
(FMI Management Consulting, 2013, p. 30).

Step 2) Select a specific industry to focus on for this
discussion. (The report was about the construction industry. However, you should
branch out and select a different industry. Everyone should discuss a different
industry, if possible.) IBISWorld is available from the Trident Online Library.
You may find IBISWorld useful as you prepare for this discussion topic.
Step 3) Answer the following 4 questions below using
question-and-answer (Q&A) format; in other words, include the original
question along with your response. Support your responses with information from
at least two reputable sources (library and/or Web-based) and provide full
citation at the end. Use APA format for your references. Share your own
personal experiences, readings, and research, where applicable.
What industry did you select?
What are some ideas on how to improve the effectiveness of
using employee incentives in the workplace?
What are the challenges of offering incentives in your
selected industry?
What are your recommendations on how to overcome those
challenges?
