The Pay Challenge
With ever-increasing pressure from Shareholders, decreasing reward budgets and mounting regulatory requirements, organisations are re-assessing and optimising their management processes to increase efficiency and focus on the activities that bring them the greatest return on investment.
Total Reward describes the total benefit that an employee receives from an organisation, both financial and non-financial.
The holistic approach takes into account the entire work experience and shines a spotlight on performance.
It focuses on employees that are critical to the organisation’s success (top performers, high potentials and hot skills) by offering them a range of rewards that will engage them and focus their efforts on key organisational objectives, thus creating a culture of performance which drives profit and/or growth in the organisation.
This broad, long-term approach creates strong links between pay and performance, reward strategy and organisational performance, and investment returns.
Pay, when treated strategically, can be seen as an investment in organisational performance.
