Pay-For-Performance Model
Challenge: A large heavily unionized organization wanted to move to a pay-for-performance model for their non-union staff. There was concern that moving to a pay-for-performance model could result in additional unionization and resistance to change.
Solution Deployed: We conducted a thorough assessment of the organization’s compensation practices and perceptions. Through a series of interviews, surveys and data analyses, the organizational culture and pay-for-performance temperament were reviewed. They found a distinct interest throughout the organization in moving to a pay-for-performance model, which supported some new lean and quality initiatives.
We then developed a comprehensive three-year implementation plan. The plan included:
- a streamlined and re-aligned base pay plan
- an internal assessment of every individual’s current pay rate compared to a new pay placement table and pay rates
- A new performance management program that was implemented over three years
Business Value Delivered: Our client successfully navigated a change in pay strategy successfully, employee engagement increased, and employees noted they appreciated being involved in the process.
