Another way through which DPWN uses reward systems to improve performance is through personalizing the reward.
Many organizations put the rewards to be so general that some employees don’t actually value them. By personalizing the reward there is the anchoring of the meaning of achievement more deeply than if it is treated as an administrative task that is mechanical. Managers in DPWN usually ensure that the reward systems are designed based on the SMART criteria. This means that they are always specific, meaningful, achievable, reliable and timely.
