Evaluating a Compensation Model for a Creative Agency
A manager at a creative marketing agency proposes a new compensation model. The agency's primary work involves teams of employees collaborating to create and manage long-term advertising campaigns for clients. Success is measured by overall brand growth and client satisfaction over several months. The manager's proposal is to pay employees a set fee for each individual, quantifiable task they complete (e.g., $10 per social media post, $25 per graphic designed). Critically evaluate this proposed payment system. In your answer, provide a justified conclusion on its suitability and discuss at least two significant problems it could cause for the agency's operations and quality of work.
