Vitamins are essential for the body to function properly, but there may be a link between the B-vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, B-12 and folate) and performance in high-level athletes. The B-vitamins are called 'micronutrients' and are used to convert proteins and carbohydrates into energy. They are also used for cell repair and production

Say that you tend not to get tense or
stressed because you plan and organise properly. Say you look after the other
things that can cause stress - health, fitness, diet, lifestyle, etc. Talk
about channeling pressure positively - thinking, planning, keeping a balanced
approach.

Introduction
Pay is a key factor affecting relationships at work. The level and distribution of pay and benefits can have a
considerable effect on the efficiency of any organization, and on the morale and productivity of the workforce. It is therefore vital that organizations develop pay systems that are appropriate for them, that provide value for money, and that reward workers fairly for the work they perform. Pay systems are methods of rewarding people for their contribution to the organization. Ideally, systems should be clear and simple to follow so that workers can easily know how they are affected. In considering rewards it should be borne in mind that pay and financial benefits are not the only motivator for worker performance. Other important motivators for individuals may include job security, the intrinsic satisfaction in the job itself, recognition that they are doing their job well, and suitable training to enable them to develop potential.
What are pay systems?
Key Points: -
 Pay systems provide the foundation for financial reward systems
 There are basic rate systems, where the worker receives a fixed rate per hour/week/month with no
additional payment
 There are systems related in whole or part to individual or group performance or profit
 There are systems based in part on the worker gaining and using additional skills or competencies
Pay systems provide the bases on which an organization rewards workers for their individual
contribution, skill and performance.
Pay structures
Pay structures are different - they are used to determine specific pay rates for particular jobs, usually based on the nature of the job, its content and requirements. A pay structure provides the framework within which the
organization places the pay rates for its various jobs or groups of jobs.
Pay systems fall into two main categories:
 Those where pay does not vary in relation to achievements or performance, (basic rate systems), and  Those where pay, or part pay, does vary in relation to results/profits/performance (including the acquisition of skills).
There are also systems where pay, and any enhancement, is related to the gaining of extra skills or competencies that can allow a worker to carry out a wider range of work, or work at a higher level, and provide opportunities for greater job satisfaction.
The selection of an organization's pay system is often determined by negotiations between management and worker representatives. In theory these negotiations can be kept quite separate from negotiations over payment structures and levels or amounts of pay; but in practice negotiations often embrace all pay-related issues.
Selecting and installing a pay system
Key Points: -
 Accept that there will inevitably be a cost involved.
 Avoid most potential problems with a systematic, well-timed and carefully planned approach.
 Involve the workforce, or its representatives, as much as possible, perhaps through a joint working party.
 Re-examine the reasons for change and take advice both inside and outside the organization. Obtain expert help if needed.
 Don't just discard the existing system - take stock through discussions to enable the organization to keep the good and change the less good.
 Identify what the new system is required to do - how does it relate to the organization's overall objectives?
 Look at the possible new systems and consider which might best suit the particular organization, with or without alteration.
 Changes to pay make people anxious, and so the new system should be kept simple and agreed with the workforce and their representatives.
 Prepare the way carefully with briefings to the workforce and management. Look out for any changes to differentials and relativities. Document the system and if possible run it for a trial period.
 Build in as much time as possible for proper discussion and consultation.
 Make arrangements for maintenance, monitoring and evaluation. Review the system regularly to ensure it is performing as required.
 Be careful the system does not directly or indirectly discriminate between men and women.
Performance-related pay
Performance pay schemes cover the various methods of linking pay to a measure of individual, group or
organizational performance. They all share the idea that where a worker can vary output according to effort the prospect of increased pay will lead to greater performance.
What are the most common types of performance pay?
It is difficult to clearly distinguish one type of performance related pay. They can be defined as:
Piecework:
A price is paid for each unit of output. This is the oldest form of performance pay and is still used in some local government direct service organizations (DSOs)
