One person\'s sales staff is cutting costs in their department and helping to achieve one of the main goals of the incentive plan.
Most of the 200 employees at the company\'s Camarillo headquarters plant now say they are inspired by additional income opportunities, but are also motivated by the goals themselves.
The bonus program launched by the company in January 1993 set the goal of improving product quality, reducing costs and accelerating the introduction of new products.
Finally, on March 17, Steve Goldman, the architect and CEO of the plan, announced the results of the plan. Power-
The initial incentive plan was a great success.
Last year, the company\'s sales increased by 8% to $51 million, and more importantly, employees effectively reduced costs and profits soared by nearly 50% to $2 million.
According to Goldman Sachs, 36, the incentive plan has increased by $750,000.

Goldman Sachs then issued a check to each employee of the Camarillo factory totaling $342,000. -
An average of $1,700 per person, although some employees earn more than twice as much as they did.
This brings cash rewards for power companies this year.
One person has 1,000 employees around the world at $500,000.
\"A lot of people say money is not a driving force, but it is really a driving force,\" Goldman said . \"

It shows how much the bonus pool will be if certain goals are achieved. . . .
People are fascinated by what it means to the company and their department to achieve these goals.

A key factor is the commitment that every dollar the company saves will contribute 15 cents to the bonus pool.
Now, Goldman Sachs has developed a 1994 plan that links all of the company\'s activities to the incentive plan.
\"We have developed a software that allows anyone at the Camarillo factory to press a few buttons on the computer to understand each department\'s performance in achieving its goals on a daily basis,\" he said.
