Harrah's Casino
I thought that the Harrah’s Casino case was an interesting exercise and a unique view into the inner-workings of an entertainment firm like Harrah’s. My overall opinion of the firm and the case was that the solution to Harrah’s problem motivation problem was simply spreading the reach of the gain sharing program to target other problems they wanted to solve. In a sense, I think about this tactic as sort of a binding procedure of the employees to the company’s success, much like contactors and employees in other industries are bound to make them liable for the materials or machinery they are using. I think that combining monetary rewards with non-material rewards like contributing to your company’s success is an excellent way to motivate employees. Basically if Harrah’s broadened the reach of its gain sharing program, Winn would have to look no further for a source of motivation.
