I’ve written picker software and did something like this. No one (including the managers) could see their individual score, but each picking team could see their team score in real time. Many of them eventually worked out how to game it, which was entertaining but still made it hard to slack off unless the team worked together to cover them (I worked closely with these picker teams to implement the software). The owner was thrilled that metrics looked great and productivity increased. The teams were happy they had immediate feedback on their score and “picks per minute” to see how they were doing. The managers sent people home once they hit their target — with pay as though they were there the whole day. It’s a shame that CDs and DVDs went out of style and they went out of business. It was a fun place to work.
