Question

What would happen if you increase the pay of the sales associates at Walmart by 20%?

Answer 1

Sales associate are workers who work in stores with a target allotted to them to sell a certain number of products. They are paid a fixed salary plus commission on sales done.

If pay of sales associates is increased by 20%, they will become more incentivized to work harder in order to pay back the company, the higher wages they have been offered

Employee morale would be boosted, which would help sales associates put in more effort at job and hence make more sales

This would benefit Walmart by not only increasing employee retention but also increase sales and thus profits.
