There is widespread support for performance-based pay among
employees in Brazil, according to the latest findings from an
annual survey conducted by workforce solutions leader Kelly
Services. The Kelly Global Workforce Index (KGWI) surveyed more
than 120,000 people in 310 countries, including Brazil.
Nearly half of respondents already are employed on variable pay
arrangements, and many others responded that they would become more
productive if they were. A total of 48 percent of respondents have
their pay tied to some form of performance or productivity targets,
according to the latest findings from the KGWI survey.
Among those not on performance-based pay, 50 percent say they
say they would be more productive if they had their earnings linked
to performance/productivity outcomes.
Sergio Gómez, Vice President of Latin American operations for
Kelly Services, said the trend reflects widespread recognition that
organizations and individuals perform best when their interests are
aligned, including through incentive-based pay.
"There are many employees who are clearly confident in their
ability to perform their jobs well, and they want the opportunity
to be compensated according to their performance," Gomez said.
Results of the survey in Brazil also show:
- The incidence of performance pay is higher among older workers
in the Gen X and Baby Boomer demographics.
- When asked to choose between pay for overtime worked, and
pay-for-performance, more than two-thirds (68 percent) opt for
pay-for-performance.
- Only 38 percent of those surveyed agree that their current pay
is equitable.
Performance-based pay includes any arrangement where an element
of the total remuneration is tied to meeting performance targets,
including profit sharing, performance bonuses and sales
commissions.
Gomez said a renewed focus on ways of lifting productivity in
enterprises has placed added emphasis on the role of remuneration
in raising business performance.
"Performance-based incentive schemes can be a win-win situation.
Employees can benefit from the opportunity to work smarter and
raise their earnings capacity, while employers benefit from
increased productivity and a more engaged workforce," said
Gomez.

Performance. For more information about the Kelly Global Workforce
