10. Execution of reward programmes is critical
In most companies, the basics are already in place:
• A compensation philosophy
• Processes, tools and procedures
• Reliable data
• Competent teams
However, reward strategy falls down due to
execution:
• Lack of articulation between existing systems
• Lack of effective communication
• Lack of credibility for reward programmes
• Lack of governance, leadership and/or “courage”
