Drilling for talent
Article Abstract:
Companies desiring to elicit the best from their workforce ought not to rely exclusively on conventional performance evaluations. They might like to try Watsonville, CA-based Graniterock's approach to employee management. In 1987, Graniterock developed and implemented what it called the Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) to nurture and develop talent and recognize achievement. As a result, the engineering contractor and building materials manufacturer won the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 1992 and ranked in Fortune magazine's '100 Best Places to Work' annual listing in 1997, 1998 and 1999.

Companies stand to derive numerous benefits in outsourcing their incentive programs to incentive services companies.
