Merits4U Merit Scores & Performance Diary

Use Merit Scores To Track and Encourage Meritorious Activity

Managers, Supervisors, Teachers, Parents, Group Leaders Of All Kinds.

Your success as a Group Leader depends on how well you can
motivate group members to perform.
Unless you get people to do what you want when you want it,
you're going to be labeled a poor manager.

Positive-reinforcement for productive behavior is the
proven method for improving performance.

Behavioral Psychologist suggest a simple graph or count sheet to
record baseline measures and to keep track of improvement.
Merits4U™ makes it simple with a running Merit Score.

Merits4U™ gives you a fair and impartial way for dispensing assignments and rewards
as reinforcement for productive behavior.

How can you possibly be fair, without a way to keep track of
what your Group Members, Family and Friends have done for you lately?

Merits4U™ is a fairness tool.
It helps deserving Group Members get the Recognition
that Motivates the Effort and Cooperation that makes a group successful.

Merits4U™ is for the Leader who wants to maximize human performance in his group.

Setup for Merits4U™ takes only three steps.

Step 1) List activities that will be considered Meritorious
(above and beyond the Member’s job description)
Give each activity a point value.
(I suggest points based on hours saved or hours donated by Member.)

Step 2) Lay Down The Law!
List activities that are not permitted and the
point deduction for each infraction.

Step 3) Create Rewards
(which can be simple recognition or choice assignments)
that can be earned for a Positive Merit Score.

Once you load Merits4U™ with your Merits, Demerits and Rewards,
it only takes a few clicks to assign points. You can instantly see the number
of times a Member has participated - or not participated, in a listed activity
by day, week or month. Print full reports for any time period.

WHO’S AHEAD?

Are the Rewards going to Group Members who do the least
because they have been around the longest?
Are the Group Members who do the most, getting their fair share?

Use Merits4U™ To KEEP SCORE

Leaders are only as fair as their memory allows - and,
they remember best, what was done most recently.

Merits4U™ gives you a tool to document Member activity
with a score card to help maintain fairness.

Merits4U™ is a no-hassle way to
recognize who your best Group Members are.

Set up Merits4U™ for your specific operation.

Develop Standards to assign Merit, Demerit and Reward Points.
You will need standards for proof of activity like; receipts for Car Washing Merits,
supervisor sign-off for Overtime Merits, etc. - whatever you set as a standard
to prove the activity took place. When the standard has been met,
the points can be issued - you have fairness all around.

Merit4U™ Gives You The Power To Prove Your Point!

If you can identify a behavior or activity that you want credit for or, want to give credit for…
Merits4U™ lets you document that behavior or activity to prove how many times
it did or did not take place.

If you want documentation to prove that you deserve a reward for meritorious activity.
You need Merits4U™.

If you want to distribute rewards based on merit to workers, family and friends.
You need Merits4U™.

Merits4U™ has other uses. It includes a Photo Profile module to keep a photo record of
Merit Group Members. The Photo Profile has a one-click phone dialer and color photos
can be printed along with profile information.

Merits4U™ also has a messaging center where messages can be emailed, faxed or printed
to a single person, a Merit Group or everyone in your system. Great for sending
Invitations, Commendations, Recommendations, etc.

Merits4U™ is a software project in progress. Bells and whistles will be added but
if you want a tool to prove your point, it’s ready right now.

Merits4U™ was created because I lost an expected reward when someone did something
more recently than I. What the person did equated to a couple hours of work. But because it was
the most recent activity it outweighed the dozens of hours I had invested over the previous weeks.
It was a case of “What have you done for me lately?”

Having not kept track of my “meritorious activities” (above and beyond my
job description), I could not prove how badly I was being shafted
so, lo and behold, the inspiration for Merits4U™.

Merits4U™ can handle multiple Merit Groups so it can be used for business
and personal Performance Appraisal and Merit Recognition.

Merits4U™ is based on very simple principles of behavior management.
To change any good or bad behavior you must identify and measure the amount of the
activity that takes place. Then, provide positive-reinforcement for the
activity that you want to continue.

I wrote several articles on Behavior Management including a Worker Motivation plan
published in Services Magazine May 1994. I was trained in Behavior Management by
Behavioral Systems Inc, a company owned by football great, Fran Tarkenton.
I have 15 years software development experience - all of which gave me the
background to produce Merits4U™.
