Ford is revamping its employee bonus system to prioritize cost savings and improve vehicle quality, aligning bonuses with strict performance metrics.
After a brutal year of headlines for FoMoCo, CEO Jim Farley has made it clear that employee accountability is at the forefront, with the revised bonus structure expected to hold employees to specific quality and growth targets. According to Reuters, the most significant change will affect managers, whose bonuses will be cut by 65 percent unless the company meets its targets.

“Objective and Key Results,” or OKR, is a goal-setting framework designed to help organizations set, communicate, and measure clear goals and outcomes. OKRs are used to align team efforts with a company’s broader mission, ensuring that everyone is working toward measurable, impactful results.
