Motivating and Evaluating Performance with Prof. Robert Bloomfield

Incentive compensation is one of the most powerful tools managers have to motivate and direct their employees—but only if they are used properly! On Wednesday, 4/23 from 1 – 2 PM EDT join eCornell for a webinar with Cornell University Prof. Robert Bloomfield entitled “Motivating and Evaluating Performance.”

During the webinar, Prof. Bloomfield will discuss how to:

  • Link performance evaluation and incentives to organizational strategy
  • Revise strategy and operations to accomplish strategic goals at lower cost
  • Help employees collaborate and work together across departments and functional areas, and communicate more effectively with colleagues about the goals and performance of their organization

There will be time for a Q&A session with Prof. Bloomfield so you can ensure that you get information relevant to your area of business.

This webinar is perfect for managers and leaders, including accounting and finance professionals who are responsible for managing costs, margins, revenue, or efficiency and would like to take a more strategic approach to motivating performance.

Measuring and Improving Business Performance

Management reporting systems are like power tools.  They can help organizations measure and improve their performance, motivate workers, and achieve strategic goals quickly and effectively.  But if you aren’t careful, it’s easy to make big mistakes, and maybe even injure yourself in the process.

In this presentation, Professor Robert Bloomfield of Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management will review best practices in management reporting and provide some essential “safety” tips.  Key topics include:

  • The importance of seeing beyond the measures to the true performance those measures are trying to capture
  • Using a Balanced Scorecard to define, achieve and improve your strategy
  • Choosing the right way to measure financial performance for your organization’s goals (whether it is a for-profit, not-for-profit or governmental concern)
  • Tying pay to performance, and more!
