Toyota is reportedly planning to revise how it compensates factory workers in order to reward performance and encourage young talent.

It said the company has unveiled proposals to its labour union and hoping to roll out the new system in 2016.
Among the proposals are a reshuffle of allowances for dependants to provide greater benefits to workers who are raising children. The report also said that employees would be evaluated twice a year on performance criteria with remuneration adjusted accordingly.
