Manifold Levers
Choices in the sphere of compensation are the core of the human resources policy. This sphere interacts with all other choices and connects them with the corporate strategy, which is the source of the most direct and clear messages to the whole staff (beyond the merely economic aspect).
“Compensating” people is not just a matter of money, even though money is a fundamental lever and an aspect people are extremely attentive and sensitive to.
This presupposition, confirmed by a number of surveys conducted over the years proving that there are manifold “levers” to attract, retain and motivate people, is typically represented by the Total Reward approach, which is hinged on:
- compensation
- welfare
- training and development
- work environment.
In this scenario, performance comes to play a pivotal role in human resource management and in decision-making, to the point that:
- with reference to rewards, it provides a valuable element to differentiate and cluster the corporate population, consistently based on the actual efforts made to achieve the objectives assigned
- in broader terms, it is an extraordinary lever to engage people and help them grow.
