With maXzie, compensation systems can be oriented not only toward performance but toward attitude and lived values – so the bonus becomes more than a financial instrument; it becomes part of the company culture.

Gunnar Barghorn

Gunnar Barghorn uses maXzie to design value-based bonus systems as well as employee profit-sharing in a transparent and comprehensible way. Employees assess one another in a peer-review process, and the results feed into the bonus calculation. Employee participation is meant to have a unifying effect within the company and to give everyone what they are entitled to through their membership in the company.
