Strategic planning is the process of defining the future directions of an entity, be it organization, department or employee, by setting the goals and the means to achieve them. To ensure productivity, improve communication and deliver better business result, employee reward systems should be carefully aligned with the strategic objectives.
Individual responsibility comes together with an organizational culture that is based on values such as reliability, transparency and autonomy. These values imply open mindedness and open communication with employees, trusting them that they will successfully manage and finalize their projects without the need for constant monitoring and control from the management’s side.
