The perceptions amongst employees at Blue Buddies is that they are not paid as much as their counterparts in the other major games module producers. This project involves not only creating different rewards for different effort, but also a major change in the whole performance setting and appraisal process. The cost is quite high since most employees are going to receive an increase in financial benefits.
The full impact of this corporate project is expected to be achieved within two Rounds. It consists mainly of a decrease in direct and indirect costs through increased employee motivation. The cost of implementing this project is given in section 6.19.
