Washington State Productivity Board

Teamwork Incentive Program "Before Project" Application  

 

This is the application for teams that apply to the Productivity Board before their project has started.

Teams must have agency approval before submitting their application. 

Teams must meet the following criteria:

  • The application must be submitted to the Productivity Board by the agency, with the agency head’s approval.

  • The application needs to demonstrate that the project implementation will allow the agency to operate at a lower cost or with an increase in revenue with no decrease in service levels.

  • TIP projects must result in cost savings or revenue-generation. This fillable Cost-Benefit Analysis Worksheet can be used to show your calculations. Submit the form using the button at the bottom of the page.

  • Provide a list of all team members and the percentage of savings the team will share, as approved by the agency. Awards can be up to 25% of the total savings or revenue, shared among the entire team, with a maximum of $10,000 per person. Awards should be equal, unless some members spent less time on the project, in which case a pro-rata share may be awarded.  Please document the percentage of time spent for any members not receiving a full share.

Click the “Save and Resume Later” button at the bottom of the application form to save your work. You will be emailed a URL password valid for 30 days. Do not upload files or sign the application form until you are ready to submit.

Teams will submit a status report half-way through the project and a final report.

Each team must submit a Teamwork Incentive Program Authorization Form.
