Zhang believed that each manager was accountable for only a small portion of the overall profits and each one could function as miniature company. Therefore, they had deposit book for each managers with his own profit and loss statement. The more a division profited, the more the manager accumulated in his resource bankbook. Also, whoever reaches his goal earlier will receive more income. This is an incentive to do a better job. Also, they gave bonuses to managers who performed well. However, Haier used the punishment to 'motivate' their employees. For example, for everyday, the employee who had the lowest performance would stand on the yellow footprints to 'reflect'. This employees should tell why he was doing bad and how should him improve in the future. This helped the employee to lower the probability of repeating being the lowest performance worker again in workplace and showed to other employees do not make the same mistake. Moreover, Haier is care about their training system. They recruits tried out two or three different jobs before being finally assigned to a position, even an employee performed well in a particular post, but he was rotated into a new job. This is because Haier wants everyone understood the different areas of the company in order to better managing their performance in the future.
