A reward consultancy with a difference
Delivering true financial advantage for your business.
How much will you be spending on Reward (pay, employee benefits, retirement, bonuses, long-term incentives and recognition) in the next three years? What are your financial goals and have you got the reward programmes that will be a tail wind rather than head wind in achieving this? Are you a step ahead of the competition when it comes to employee net promoter score and are your reward programmes contributing to this?
We focus on your business goals and financial plan as much as your need to attract, retain and engage the best talent. We use our expertise to help you create an enduring reward strategy that delivers both financial and people advantage for your business.
We add value at two levels
Overarching reward strategy
We partner with the C-Suite team to systematically create an innovative overarching reward strategy which can be sustained over the medium to longer-term and provide a north star for all of the various reward programmes that sit underneath (e.g. bonus plan, employee benefits, pay fairness).
Crucially, as a differentiator, we have the financial acumen to start from the financial goals of the business and finish with the plan to bake future reward costs into the financial forecast in a highly logical way.
We also look at whether the business has the basics in place to deliver on the strategy and what investments might be required to ensure success.

Reward programme solutions
We use our considerable expertise to design, revamp or deliver a wide range of reward programmes.
This can be as fundamental as a new leading edge job architecture to meet the opportunities of pay transparency or as specific as a new bonus plan for business development staff in China.
See the tiles below for examples of the questions we can help untangle with innovative, financially sustainable solutions.
Reward programme solutions
Is there an acquisition or ownership change in the near future? Beyond the typical data room intelligence on reward costs and liabilities, what are the key areas where planning early can maximise the success of the deal long-term?
As we face ever more legislation and standards on pay equity and transparency, do you have a fit-for-purpose job architecture? Stemming from this, do you have effective pay and career frameworks that optimises employee engagement while being compliant?
Are your bonus plans or benefit programmes delivering what they were supposed to? Or is there an opportunity for a creative revamp? Do you have the right balance between incentives and recognition plans to drive not only performance but the culture you need? Does your approach to sales bonuses resonate in Latin America and South Asia or do you need some tweaks that will drive sales growth in these vibrant markets?
Have you reflected that even though your reward programmes are competitive, your employee net promoter score is disappointing? Could a better wellbeing offering be part of the solution? Or perhaps it’s less about what you do but how you do it that is impacting sentiment and you would benefit from reignition through clearer governance, crisp communication and targeted focus groups?
Do you need to understand and quantify your reward costs so you can make informed decisions on your future reward investments and headcount?
