RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA A IMPORTÂNCIA DO SALÁRIO, BENEFÍCIOS E INCENTIVOS COMO FATOR MOTIVACIONAL

Abstract

The present experience report aims to analyze the relevance of salaries, benefits, and incentives as factors of motivation and retention within the organizational environment. Human Resource Management plays a strategic role in this process, as it seeks to reconcile employees’ expectations with the institutional objectives adopted. The methodology used consists of an experience report based on professional practice carried out in the city of Santa Helena de Goiás – GO, during the performance of administrative functions in a company belonging to the Parmalat Group. The experience described involved a dispute between the company and the local union concerning salary equalization with other units of the same group located in different states. This experience made it possible to observe, in practice, the impacts of wage inequalities and benefit policies on workers’ motivation and performance. The results showed that motivation at work is not limited to financial remuneration but also involves recognition, adequate working and leisure conditions, and opportunities for professional growth. It was found that fair wages, consistent benefits, and incentives contribute to the creation of a healthy, balanced, and productive organizational environment with lower turnover rates. By adopting strategies that transcend the salary aspect and using benefits and incentives as tools for employee appreciation, organizations strengthen the bond between workers and the company, promoting greater commitment and organizational satisfaction.
