Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best way to address the anxiety surrounding the profit-sharing plan is to educate the employees. Conducting meetings or training sessions can help the employees understand how the plan works and how they will benefit from the company's success. This will help alleviate any fears or concerns they may have about losing money in a bad year. Option A may be helpful but does not directly address the problem at hand. Option B is not a practical solution as non-management employees should have a say in the incentive plan. Option D and E are not effective ways of addressing the issue and may even make employee morale worse.
