Compensation and Total Rewards

The compensation process is a motivational tool used for administering rewards, recognizing employees and retaining talent. Employees take cues about performance expectations seeing who get recognized and promoted. Thus, this process serves as an important mechanism to communicate what is valued by the organization. In many organizations, compensation can account for up to 40% of the operating budget. Disciplined compensation practices are not only important for ensuring employee productivity but also to control costs.
