Compensation and Benefits

Ensuring internal equity and external competitiveness

In today’s competitive market with low labour supply, it is vital for organisations to have a compensation & benefits system that is prudent yet competitive to attract, motivate and retain talents.

An effective compensation & benefits structure should ensure both internal equity and external competitiveness. Without an internally equitable structure, employees may perceive unfair treatment within the organisation, especially if new hires are drawing higher salary than existing employees or better performers drawing lower salaries than long serving employees.

In addition, organisations may also be unaware of their relative standing in the market if there is a lack of competitive compensation structure. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether employees were being paid at competitive levels.

How can your organisation benefit from having an effective compensation & benefits system?

In short, your organisation will be able to:

  • attract potential candidates
  • retain high performers for key positions
  • manage employees’ salary & benefits in a prudent yet effective manner
  • create the notion of pay equity and fairness among all employees
  • build a reputation as an employer-of-choice
