A comprehensive compensation strategy checklist for today’s workforce

How are you strategically aligning your compensation practices to address the evolving needs and expectations of today’s workforce?

As employees increasingly prioritise holistic wellbeing and family over the traditional “rat race” mentality around salary, they seek a more personalised employee experience and enhanced compensation that provides more than just a suitable wage.

Since 2020, employees have had to navigate the financial stressors of a pandemic, skyrocketing inflation, and now, news of layoffs at companies known for championing employee experience. Meanwhile, employers are facing a subdued economic environment while trying to meet varying employee expectations around pay and reward.

For a compensation strategy to succeed in an era of fluctuating workforce conditions, it not only needs to be managed — it needs to evolve. This checklist covers what you need to develop and optimise your employee compensation strategy.
