Wie bringen Sie Vergütung und Sozialleistungen mit Ihrer Unternehmenskultur und Ihren Werten in Einklang?

Conduct thorough research and engage with key stakeholders to comprehend the organization's core values and culture.Identify the priorities, beliefs, and principles that define the company's identity.

If you are seeking to attract early career talent you can invest heavily in talent acquisition branding, sourcing, screening and onboarding resources. You might do better by tuning your total rewards package to naturally appeal to this segment of the workforce. For example, a student loan forgiveness program can both entice new employees but also be structured as a retention tool. The IRS makes it essentially free to offer a tuition program, yet if your need is retention you might be better off to invest and promote your company's retirement program. In terms of sequence it is a matter of understanding what you have, what you need, and then filling in the gap--either with enhanced offerings and/or communications.

Compensation can be defined as the value that an employer places on the skills, knowledge, talents, contributions, and output of employees. As such, if your corporate values and culture state that you operate in a people-centric way, or value high performance, or are simply best in class, your compensation strategy should reflect these beliefs. If a company claims to be world-class/best-in-class in terms of the product they produce/deliver, how they serve customers, or how they treat their team members, employees should be able to see clearly that their compensation and benefits are also best-in-class.

Ensure that the structure of compensation and benefits reflects the organization's values.Tailor packages to support and reinforce cultural elements, such as innovation, collaboration, or employee development.

Transparency is key when it comes to communicating about compensation and benefits. If people are uncertain about or unaware of the benefits available to them, or even more significant, they are uncertain about how their compensation (base, bonus, merit increases, etc.) is determined, they may loose trust in the organization and their leaders. Being proactive to share with all employees how base salaries, merit increases, and bonuses are calculated can build trust and serve to motivate employees. If they know HOW to achieve a 5% merit increase or a 10% bonus for example, it can prompt them to set higher goals, prioritize their work more effectively, and stay motivated through difficult times.

Develop clear and transparent communication strategies to convey the details of compensation and benefits programs.Utilize multiple channels to reach employees and ensure they understand the value of their compensation packages.

Establish accessible channels for employees to seek clarification or express concerns regarding compensation and benefits.Provide timely and accurate responses to build trust and address any uncertainties.

Regularly assess the effectiveness of communication channels and materials.Gather feedback from employees to identify areas for improvement in conveying information related to compensation and benefits.
