Excerpt from A Rational Wages System: Some Notes on the Method of Paying the Worker a Reward for Efficiency in Addition to Wages
IT is universally admitted that the war will bring about great changes in industry. The readjustment of financial affairs, the greatly increased taxation, the displacement of labour due to the employment of men now at the front, the dilution of labour by the employment of women, the development of new industries and the modification of present ones in order to meet new markets, changes in the old methods of manufacturing and trading, will all add to the difficulties of the situation.
Some of the greatest of these difficulties will be in connection with Labour, and the trade-unions will be faced with problems the solution of which will tax their ingenuity and statecraft to the utmost.

Excerpt from A Rational Wages System: Some Notes on the Method of Paying the Worker a Reward for Efficiency in Addition to Wages
The question of scientific management, or the replacement of guesswork by a common-sense study of the principles in economical and efficient production, has not received the consideration it deserves in this country; but one effect of the war has been to show the possibilities of increasing production by a scientific study of factory methods.
I believe that a much greater amount of interest will be taken in the subject in future, and the fact that co-operation between the management and the workers is the first essential to success cannot be too strongly emphasised.
From my own personal experience of its installation in England, I can only say that, when approached broad-mindedly by both sides, the workers have nothing to fear and, indeed, everything to gain by it.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explains a way of organizing workâ"the "Reward System"â"to improve efficiency and reduce conflict between workers and employers. The Reward System is explained as based on a precise study of the time and conditions required to complete production tasks. The author believes it is only by adopting a principle of efficiency that one can obtain greater production and, therefore, greater income, better health, less fatigue, greater contentment, and a more rational and equitable understanding between employer and employee, for the benefit of all. The author urges that the Reward System is a way to equalize conditions for all workers and that the amount of reward earned depends entirely on the energy and ability of the worker. The book describes exactly how to implement this system, offering a detailed example to illustrate the method, and delves into potential objections, such as whether employers will stick to principles of fair wages, providing concrete reasons why they would be motivated to do so. The author concludes that, when properly implemented, the Reward System leads to continuously high efficiency and mutual interest in increased production. The book is a valuable resource for employers looking to optimize production, increase profit, and create a more positive work environment.
