Home - Compensation and Benefits

Decisions regarding compensation in an organization are extremely important from a variety of perspectives. Compensation decisions impact the relative strength of organizations in a global economy as they safeguard the strategic recruitment, motivation of appropriate talent, retention,and reward of human resources that ensure the competitive advantage sought by an organization.

Compensation, today, is viewed as both an expense and an influence on employee behaviour, impacting organization’s financial performance. Does that mean paying high compensation invariably to an employee improves financial performance of an organization? The answer is ‘No’. A lot of factors play a strong influence in this, majorly ‘Pay mix’. It is about paying the right compensation to the right leader, aligning to the business goals which acts as a motivation to outperform in their jobs.

A common issue, which is costly for any organization, is of high pay despite low performance. This question is one of misalignment. In our latest survey on employee compensation, we found plenty of examples in which pay was too high for the level of performance delivered. With years of experience, our experts have defined a Fair pay or aligned pay.

Fair pay, is when total compensation of an employee, after performance has been factored in sensitivity to organization’s performance over time and compensation is reasonable relative to the relevant market for talent and for the performance delivered
