Incentive Plans Paper

The Cartwright-Porter regional airport has entering its 7th year of existence. From the beginning the 7th year has brought positive issues, such as increased passenger traffic. The 7th year has also brought some not so positive people-related issues, and Cartwright-Porter's upper management has tasked its Human Resource (HR) department to come up with a solution.
