New Reward Structure at Bruynzeel Kitchens

Vaste prijs 2

As a customer, negotiating discounts on your new kitchen is no longer an option at <a href="https://www.bruynzeelkeukens.nl/">Bruynzeel Keukens</a>. Parent company <a href="https://www.dkggroep.nl/">DKG </a>has radically changed its strategy and since last year has been working with fixed prices. This involves a different way of selling as well as a different remuneration structure. An interview with Caesar Kuipers.

Negotiating the price of your kitchen is still a daily occurrence at many kitchen stores. In the 35 Bruynzeel Keukens stores, too, it was possible for many years to get a substantial discount. With a corresponding reward system for the salesperson. Research among customers showed that they did not like this bargaining at all. They didn't want to get the idea that the neighbor might be cheaper.

A fair comparison: measuring pay equity

Measuring pay equity

At first glance, measuring the gender pay gap seems straightforward – just compare the average salaries of men versus women, right? Well, not quite. The reality is far more nuanced and often up for debate. Factors like part-time work and job levels skew these averages, potentially masking underlying issues of inequality. To answer the question: are we paying our employees equally for the same work, an organization must calculate the corrected pay gap. A more comprehensive metric that factors in variables such as job level and experience to reveal the true state of pay equity within an organization. It's not just about identifying a gap but understanding why it exists and what actions can rectify it. Highberg's approach to calculating equal pay for equal work sheds light on the complexities of pay disparity and paves the way for meaningful change.
