Workforce size: 500
Levels: Executive (Level 1) and Junior Manager (Level 2)
The company’s full-time sales executives (called the Recruiters - POS team) have the following activities as their deliverables: Code generation, Activisations, and Premium collected. The POS team primarily visits businesses in their territory to recruit them as Insurance sales partners. When the business owner signs up as a partner, it is called a ‘code generation ’(expressed as a new recruitment count). When a business owner sells a policy, it is called an ‘activation’ (this is expressed as a count of policies sold). The total premium collected by the business owner is expressed as ‘Premium collected’.
While there are monthly reports of Code generation, Activisations, and Premium collected sent out to the POS team, they need to raise a request to update the number of activisation, the premium collected, and resultantly the incentive they are eligible for. It takes an average of a day for this report to reach them or their manager.
The company wanted this performance data to be more transparent and readily available for their POS team. They also wanted to use this data to nudge the team to perform better and recognize the high achievers.
Compass Program design, User Management, and Data Sources & Variables features were used to construct the below-given incentive logic.
Both the Level 1 and Level 2 recruiters are eligible for the incentive if at least 40% of their new POS agents have been active. Yet again, a POS agent will be considered active only if they meet the following conditions:
Achievement Conditions:
One active POS within same month: INR.50/-
Two and above active POS within same month: INR.100/- per recruitment (codes generated)

Level 2 and Tenure 1 Month:
