 From the above, I can deduce that productivity is the glue which holds employee and employer together. How does an organisation in the private sector go above to achieve its objectives and maintain its employees on long time? A careful and efficient management of remuneration packages to an extent determine the progress an organization record at a given time. My experience on the private organization indicates that remuneration which is not exploitative enhance employee performance.

 This does not mean that factors such as making an employee to have a sense of belonging in an organisation does not enhance performance, but an employee who gets equivalent of what he put in, in an organisation stands to perform higher .

 This is because his needs of feeding, clothing, housing which ranks among the physiological needs according to Abraham Maslow’s need in hierarchy.
