Reward & Performance Management Services

Our Perspective on Compensation

The reward plan integrates all the elements in your human capital stategy to drive your success:

Our Perspective on Compensation
 
Reward - Integration

Across key internal & external populations:

  1. Fixed cash (salaries) maintains competitiveness
  2. Basic benefits package supports competitiveness & internal equity
  3. Variable cash (annual incentives) reward results
  4. Executive benefits & perquisites support customization & retention
  5. Long-term incentives (equity, phantom stock, performance units) provide strategic linkage
  6. Employment contracts & supplemental rewards integrate the elements
 
Performance & Reward - Linkage Problems

  • Everyone "pays for performance"
  • Few companies successfully link rewards to results
  • Metrics get confused across levels/functions
  • Plans get "gamed" when linked to pay
  • Without the right competencies, executives rely on mechanical formulas
 
Turning Pay into - Pay for Performance

  • No one-size-fits-all model
  • Successful programs reflect company strategy, economics & culture
  • Programs need:
    • strategic, financial, operational & individual goals
    • Compensation & incentive goals
 
The Difficulty of - Changing Pay

  • It's never the "right time"
  • The pay program may be the best friend of the status quo
  • The reward system may also be the best tool for managing strategic change
  • The half-life of an executive reward plan may be only one or two years (static plans will fail)
