From the Paper:

"Reward and incentive programs are a popular component of employee benefit packages. Many employees value such offerings as flexible scheduling, tuition assistance, and child care in order to satisfy personal needs and professional development. In today's society, it is becoming increasingly common to align these reward systems with the overall business strategy of an organization in order to satisfy business needs and to improve shareholder value. In addition, many organizations are developing or restructuring their rewards programs based on employee performance. This trend is likely to continue as costs continue to increase and competition continues to thrive in a highly volatile economy."
