Performance Reward and Compensation

The most effective reward and compensation systems align with objective, outcome-based evaluations of employee performance. Each employee's performance measurement should reflect the organization's business strategy and financial goals. Compensation should also reflect the employee's performance level and his or her contributions to the organization's success.

Conventional wisdom and traditional compensation practices often prevent organizations from achieving strategic goals. Organizations must align their compensation and reward systems with performance, for when they do, they will increase productivity and achieve sustainable growth.

Gallup Consulting helps organizations develop effective strategies that:

1. reflect an employee's performance and contributions 2. improve employee and customer engagement 3. increase productivity 4. focus employees on clear, objective, and measurable outcomes 5. link to the organization's strategic direction and business goals 6. reward employees who achieve results

Our compensation experts work with company leaders to formulate compensation and reward programs that integrate with their strategic business objectives.

Our consulting process centers on accomplishing these goals:

1. review and assess the organization's strategic direction, initiatives, and functional practices, as well as compensation-driven performance measures

2. develop a comprehensive understanding of the performance and compensation relationship within the organization

3. create compensation and reward systems that are focused, simple, and designed to promote world-class performance in every role
