English term or phrase: carrots and sticks (in the context below)
Context

In the past two years, the company has begun an initiative to improve its data consolidation practices; all of its divisions are now required to collect and report accounting data in the same way.
Probably the biggest challenge in this area, says Jens Roed Andersen, XXX chief information security officer, has been to overcome the cultural issue of low confidence in company-wide information.
“It will take some time until people figure out they can rely on these data,” he says.
XXXXX is using both carrots and sticks to bring about this cultural shift.
It is feeding the data into existing systems and encouraging employees to see how they can make their jobs easier.
