Compensation and Benefits

Decisions regarding compensation in an organization are crucial for ensuring strategic recruitment, motivation, retention, and reward of talent. These decisions directly impact an organization’s competitive advantage in the global economy.

Compensation is both an expense and an influence on employee behavior, affecting an organization’s financial performance. However, paying high compensation doesn’t always improve financial results. Instead, the key lies in finding the right balance, or ‘Pay Mix’, which aligns compensation with business goals and motivates employees to excel.

"Fair pay is achieved when total compensation reflects an employee’s performance, is sensitive to organizational outcomes, and aligns with market standards for the role."
