56. Performance & Recognition For over 20 years, we have been helping some of the most successful organizations improve their businesses.

57. Performance & Recognition Although many organizations we work with are from different industries, the one constant with all of them is …PEOPLE!! At The Target Group our specialty is Motivating People – Driving Results”

64. “Cash is Not King” when it comes to increasing performance. Yes, it’s true….if asked, employees will always say they would like cash for their employee performance award. But, is that really the right question to ask? The question managers need to ask themselves is “what motivates our employees to perform at higher levels”? Here are the facts! Merchandise awards are remembered longer than cash awards. 60% of employees view cash as compensation. 53% of employees look at bonuses as something they are due. Merchandise/luxury awards outperformed their cash group counterparts by 70-80%. Performance & Recognition

65. Why Are Merchandise (Tangible) Incentives Better? With money, an employee may ask him/herself “Is that all I’m worth?” which may be worse than not having an incentive at all. Cash incentives and bonuses often become expected compensation. Non-cash incentives tend to be kept separate from compensation, thus standing out as rewards for performance. Non-cash incentives, such as luxury awards, are things people would love to have but would never justify purchasing with their own money. This actually increases the intrinsic value of the award. Luxury incentives also have trophy value and are more likely to be acknowledged than cash. Check out the following link to see an amusing video covering the topic of Cash Gifts: Seinfeld Video – “Gifts Are More Appreciated Than Cash” Performance & Recognition

69. UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery Case Examples / Bill Analysis You never know what to expect in an audit. Some of the clients who are doubtful that we will find anything new are completely amazed at what our process uncovers. We know from experience that there is value in taking a deeper look. A Regional Department Store with Locations in PA, NJ, MD, WV, NY, CT, and NH, received a refund of $68,000 from a prior electric supplier for billing errors and received a rate schedule change for one facility that saves $24,000 annually. We identified $80,000 in erroneous installation and termination charges for a National Financing Company on their data network. In addition, fraudulent credit card use was uncovered as well as minimum charges billed for phone lines that had been discontinued two years prior.

70. UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery Case Examples / Cost Reduction Two pharmaceutical clients, one in research & development and the other in specialized packaging, asked us to help manage their utility expenses. Both companies are comprised of multiple locations and have large energy expenditures. After completing comprehensive audits, we identified refund opportunities of $180,000 and $150,000 respectively. In addition, recurring savings that totaled approximately $260,000 per year were also obtained through rate changes and timely procurement decisions. We were able to obtain a $48,000 regulatory based refund for a plastics manufacturer with one location and monthly savings of about $1,600. Additional recommendations for an equipment upgrade and rate change produced another $3,300 per month.

71. UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery Case Examples / Outsourcing A New Jersey Hospital facility was looking at a rate increase of 14 percent with the start of full NJ electricity deregulation. We negotiated favorable alternate supply rates to maximize savings versus full service default rates. Savings have averaged $9,000 per month. A Massachusetts property management firm was faced with increasing utility costs across multiple locations. We advised them on best rate choices and handled the confusing alternate supplier shopping process. Electric procurement savings have averaged over $17,000 per month.
