Compensation Basics

? Compensation system design is not just about how much you pay but the relative relationship between roles and pay.

? When it comes to compensation, individuals are rarely objective about the impact of their own role or performance in that role.

? People, by nature, like to keep track of their career progress. Titles are important. Organization status is important. Pay is important. It is how we keep track.

? There is never enough money to go around. Compensation management is about balancing the allocation of a very scarce resource for the organization. It is difficult and controversial in every organization.
