Innovating with pay strategies – thinking outside the box when under inflationary pressure

Pay Fairness | Pay Progression | Pay Structure

In the absence of inflation-busting pay rises to match the cost-of-living crisis, most companies are having to get creative.

11 Steps to boost your Sales Incentive Scheme

Pay Structure | Pay Review

For a sales team to perform and achieve at an optimum level, it needs three things: a well-designed sales plan; data and insights for forecasting, planning, and aligning their efforts to the business’s goals; and the tools to enable performance (training, environment, culture and CRM systems).

Location-based pay frameworks: where do we go from here?

Pay & Reward | Pay framework | Flexible working | Global talent | Pay Structure | Remote Working

Traditionally, many organisations have had regional-based pay frameworks, and home-based workers were more likely to have a national reference point for pay, but what about now, when the pandemic has firmly thrust the idea of home-based working into a reality?

Give your pay bands a bit of TLC

Pay & Reward | Pay framework | Pay Structure | Pay Review

When was the last time you took a closer look at your pay bands? Pay bands can be viewed as the engine that drives pay decisions, but all too often they only get an annual MOT at pay review - perhaps it is time to look under the bonnet and give pay bands a bit more TLC.
