Description:
Design a compensation model that directly ties employee earnings to performance results.

Duration: 10-14 weeks

Major Activities:

  • Define performance metrics and link to compensation outcomes
  • Develop pay-for-performance calculation methods (salary increases, bonuses, etc.)
  • Align compensation strategy with business and departmental goals
  • Train managers and employees on new pay structures
  • Implement monitoring and evaluation systems
  • Adjust pay-for-performance structures based on feedback and results

Deliverables:

  • Pay-for-performance framework
  • Performance metric definitions and tracking guidelines
  • Compensation adjustment calculation tools
  • Employee and manager training materials
  • Post-implementation review and refinement plan

Project Tips:
DO:

  • Ensure performance metrics are clear, fair, and measurable.
  • Regularly review pay-performance correlations for effectiveness.
  • Communicate expectations clearly to avoid misunderstandings.

DON’T:

  • Assume one-size-fits-all—different roles may require different pay models.
  • Reward individual performance without considering team contributions.
  • Ignore employee concerns—engagement is key for adoption.
