Option C, a company meeting on improving performance in which employees actively participate, is the best choice as it encourages engagement and ownership over the quality of the mattresses produced. Option A, a $1.00/hour raise, may increase motivation but does not necessarily ensure improved quality. Option B, 25 cents for each mattress produced, may encourage quantity over quality. Option D, a detailed memo listing new rules, may be helpful in informing employees but does not actively engage or incentivize them to improve quality.
