Rewards
'We offer independent advice on reward'
Highberg specializes in both providing advice on and implementing projects in the field of compensation and benefits. We offer our clients advice and support in formulating a (renewed) reward policy that fits their organization. To this end we take account of their market position, the kinds of employees they have, their salary costs and their organizational culture.
Working with the client we translate their organizational vision and mission into a reward philosophy, and on that basis work towards a concrete remuneration policy. To formulate a remuneration policy, philosophy and structure, we rely on our years of experience, working for many different clients. We also incorporate the latest trends and developments in the field.
Reward strategy and policy
We translate the organization’s strategy into a remunerations policy and ensure a perfect match with their strategic HR priorities. The Highberg team advises on all aspects of their compensation and benefits.
Reward benchmark
Often, we start the project with benchmarking, in which employees’ current salaries are compared with the market.
Highberg has an individual signature because we always think and act independently, pragmatically and creatively.
Some organizations want to introduce variable pay as a staff retention scheme. But there isn’t a straightforward connection between variable pay and motivation or retention. Successfully implementing variable pay requires careful preparation, calculation and finetuning, to make it match the organization’s strategy. Highberg’s consultants know the entire process and can help companies make and implement the right choices.

An optimum reward policy is aligned with the organization’s objectives, corporate culture and strategy.
International remuneration policies
Companies in the Netherlands who have branches abroad often like their reward policies to be similar in all countries. The idea is to operate as one single company internationally, while still leaving room for ‘couleur locale’. Highberg consultants can help them formulate an international remuneration policy.

Participation schemes
Companies may choose to let their employees participate financially. What form this takes depends on why the organization wishes to do so. Highberg helps clients shape such schemes to achieve the desired results.

We like thinking outside the box.
Fair pay
Fair pay is often under pressure, in many organizations. Matters may have become unbalanced little by little, and sometimes the organization’s reward policy simply isn’t transparent. In all such cases Highberg can help to make the organization’s remunerations fair again, using data analysis.
