PERFORMANCE & REWARD MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS


Fundamental to Business Success



At the root of a high-performance culture, there will often be a well-communicated business strategy and the organisational capabilities to fully execute the strategy. There will also be performance measures that will explain just how effective this strategy is in meeting business goals. These measures filter through all sections of the organisation to find their place in the individual performance plans of employees. These performance plans are an integral part of the organisation's reward systems and remuneration programs.


This future-focused performance management framework is essential to many core Human Resources programs - not just employee recognition and financial rewards. Once the right strategic measures are defined, you can clearly explain what you expect from your employees and establish what you can do to help them deliver great results, as illustrated here:

From a reward management perspective, the ultimate goal is to create a workplace environment that is filled with cultural reinforcers and is stimulated by tailored reward & recognition programs, all focussed on the employee behaviour necessary to achieve successful outcomes.



Reward strategy & remuneration programs - alignment is critical



In creating a high performance workplace, your reward strategy and remuneration practices will be vital. Market leaders avoid "one size fits all" remuneration programs - they develop innovative ways to encourage the employee behaviour that will make a difference in achieving their particular business goals. These organisations go well beyond benchmarking their salary & benefits practices - all their reward systems and remuneration programs are:


  • Contingent on employees making a contribution, rather than just doing certain tasks;
  • Meaningful and valuable to all individuals, regardless of their function;
  • Based on objective and attainable goals;
  • Fair to all, and not based on a competitive struggle within the workplace;
  • Balanced between workplace conditions and fulfillment of individual needs and priorities;
  • Focused on efforts to serve customers and to enhance collaboration within the workplace.


Your reward strategy should be tailored to support the distinctive needs of your business; consequently, all your salary & benefits programs should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely (SMART). In most cases, this requires a detailed understanding of what it takes to attract, motivate and retain the best people for your organisation - including separate treatments for different job families.


HaRe Group's research shows that good remuneration management will help sustain a competitive advantage in most industries - but which remuneration programs will work best for your business?
