Rewards are a powerful communicator of values, direction and business priorities. We focus on how best to link employee performance and reward and translate this into improved business performance.

To bring about this transformation, we work with clients as follows:

Rewarding organisational excellence
The major advantage of schemes that reward organisational performance is the ability to align individual rewards and the strategic performance of the organisation. Our expertise includes the design of business unit based schemes, for example, goalsharing plans, company-wide profit sharing arrangements and linking balanced scorecard and reward.

Rewarding team excellence
A key requirement for the effective operation of any kind of team is learning on the part of team members. Our expertise includes linking reward to skills, competency and knowledge development, as well as key business performance indicators such as customer satisfaction, innovation, productivity and quality.

Rewarding individual performance
Individual pay for performance can have an extremely positive effect on the retention of high performers. It provides the opportunity to tailor the individual rewards – financial and non-monetary – to the preferences and motives of individuals. We have extensive experience in designing individually-related performance pay schemes and the performance management processes necessary to make them a success. This includes the use of performance ranking, which differentiates between employees in relative terms, rather than assesses their performance in relation to an agreed set of objectives.

Using recognition and celebration to create a culture of success
There are many types of recognition programmes in use today. Few are noted for their ability to convey special recognition, or improve, or sustain, high performance. Our knowledge of recognition and celebration in “Employers of Choice” helps our clients create programmes that are directly aligned to the organisation’s business strategy.
