Reward Strategy and Policy

We translate the company’s strategy into the reward domain, seamlessly aligning with strategic HR priorities. The Highberg team advises on the full spectrum of employment benefits.

 

Reward Strategy

For a successful reward strategy, it is also crucial that it is recognized and championed by management, and clear and attractive to employees. We also guide our clients in this process. We work with nationally focused companies as well as those with offices in other countries. Highberg has extensive experience in developing and implementing both national and international reward strategies. In the Netherlands, we have experience with companies of various sizes and across multiple sectors. Internationally, our consultants have developed international reward strategies for multinationals with country organizations in Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Compensation Policy

• Designing and implementing a salary policy that suits all employee groups and ensures future-proof development of wage costs.

• Benchmarking the current reward policy to identify opportunities and areas for improvement.

• Designing variable reward schemes that guide and motivate employees, and serve as a retention mechanism. This includes bonuses, sales-specific incentives, collective company schemes such as profit-sharing, and long-term incentives and participation plans.

Setting up future-proof pension schemes and tailor-made benefits such as mobility schemes or policies regarding vacation days, working hours, and overtime.

Communication and Implementation of Reward Policy

Once an organization has decided to adjust its reward policy, it faces the challenge of implementation and communication. Both are crucial, and largely determine the success of the new policy. Highberg can help companies manage this process correctly and professionally.

Developing and implementing an attractive reward policy is a significant challenge, and every project is unique. The Highberg process delivers results. We approach this like explorers, starting with an ‘open mind’ – a prerequisite for progress. We then develop strategies supported by facts, data, and quantitative analyses. This ultimately leads us to our goal: an optimal reward policy for our clients and their employees.

Every project is different. We adapt our approach and project team accordingly.
