work/life balance = the ability to work hard but also enjoy a good quality family and social
life
People are working long hours these days, and so their work/life balance is affected, leading
to stress.
to motivate people = to give them positive reasons for working hard If employees are given regular feedback, they will probably be well motivated and
committed.
pay increments = pay rises/increases
In my country, pay increments have been very low because of the financial crisis.
perks = reward from an employer which are not financial (eg free lunches, a car etc) Personally, I’d like to work for a company that gives lots of perks, because I would find this
very enjoyable.
financial rewards = any form of money payment (salary, commission, pension etc) Being a primary teacher may be satisfying, but the financial rewards are not high
bonuses = money given in addition to salary, usually in return for achieving targets
Apparently some investment bankers can earn millions of dollars in bonuses.
incentives = any reward that makes people work harder
Some employers offer vacations or parties as incentives if the team hits its sales targets.
job satisfaction = enjoyment of a job for non-financial reasons
I get a lot of job satisfaction from my work at the wildlife centre, although the financial
rewards are quite low.
target-related = dependent on hitting a target
My boss once offered me a target-related bonus, but it was almost impossible to achieve!
on the job training = training while working, not by leaving work to go to college etc
My sister has found that the on the job training she gets at her bank is very useful, and she has
progressed well because of this.
