In this session….

We’ll examine the relationship between organizational strategy and compensation strategy

We’ll begin to think about different factors that might influence compensation strategy

Organizational Strategy There are several approaches

organizations take when developing overall strategy, e.g., High cost, low volume Low cost, high volume

Choice of strategy depends on industry, geographic location, organizational size, nature of competition, etc.

HR Strategic Alignment

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH PEOPLE -HOW?????

Human resource add value to bottom-line Hiring Skills, knowledge, abilities –

competitive advantage Competencies difficult to imitate Collective Collative team synergy-

organised effort

COMPETITIVE CHALLENGES & HRM

Going global-diff geographies, cultures, laws & business practices, identifying expatriate managers,HCN,PCN,TCN

Embracing New Technology-virtual organisations, from touch labor to knowledge workers,HRIS

Managing change-HR issues ( lack of sense of urgency,cohesive coalition,leadership, communication, human mindset resistance, not anchoring to corporate culture)

COMPETITIVE CHALLENGES & HRM

Developing Human Capital-(differentiate bet HR & HC)

Responding to the market-TQM, Outsourcing & Employee Leasing, Productivity Enhancements

SOCIAL ISSUES IN HRM

Demographic changes-Diversity, age distribution, gender distribution,rising levels of education,cultural changes (employee rights, concern for privacy,changing attitudes, work life balance

Compensation Strategy Likewise, compensation strategy should mirror

and align with the organization’s strategy Questions to ask regarding alignment:

Who are my competitors? How is my business similar to or different from other

companies? What are the core competencies that give our business

a competitive advantage? How does location impact our ability to attract and retain

talent? What should our competitive position be regarding pay?

Compensation Strategy Decisions Top management usually decides the organization’s

compensation strategy: “Lead” strategies tend to attract more workers, but

don’t necessarily lead to less turnover or less unionization or higher productivity

“Lag” strategies are often chosen to keep labor costs low and profits high, but often result in attracting lower-quality workers who’ll leave for $.05/hr increase

“Target” strategies (pay at market rate) are usually the most effective at attracting and retaining employees

Compensation Strategy Decisions The compensation strategy chosen can be used

overall in the organization or with different core functions independently; for example, An organization decides that it is not attracting or

is losing highly skilled computer analysts The quality of life on a university campus is seen

as a major attraction for employees A new organization in a small town decides to

compete with a similar, more well-established unionized organization 10 miles away in a large city

Aligning Organizational and Compensation Strategies

What pay strategy might they currently have? Desire to have?

If you were a consultant for this organization, what would you suggest regarding pay strategy? Why?

Strategic Reward Systems : Design and Strategic Choice Issues

Basic goals of a compensation system Attract employees Retain employees Motivate employees Compliance with pay laws Administrative simplicity Cost effectiveness


Critical Thinking Questions

1. Which goals would be most critical for a technology company

2. Which goals would be most critical for a non-profit company?


Design Issues Job-based vs. Individual-based pay design Fixed vs. Variable pay Internal vs. External pay equity emphasis Performance vs. Membership as basis for

rewards


Design Issues Egalitarian vs. Elitist allocation of perks &

rewards Market position of base salaries:

Meet the marketLead the marketLag the market

Monetary vs. non-monetary reward emphasis

Strategic Reward Systems Design and Strategic Choice Issues

Administration Framework Open Pay vs. Pay Secrecy Centralized vs. Decentralized pay

administration


Critical Thinking Questions:

1. Why do most private firms choose to have a pay secrecy policy? Do they work? Does pay secrecy fit with a high commitment HR system where employee participation is a strong element of corporate culture?

2. Should a manager receive higher pay than the subordinates that she/he supervises?

Strategic Reward Systems II: Design and Strategic Choice Issues

Critical Thinking Questions:

3. What are the strategic advantages of paying below the market for pay? Can a firm sustain this pay choice?

4. Why would a firm decide to pay above the market? Is this choice open to all firms in an industry or sector?

Remuneration Strategy/Philosophy

Remuneration is consistent with strategic business objectives

Strategic questions: How can remuneration policies and practices achieve these objectives

If seeking the ‘best’ people, then it is incongruent to pay below-market rates

If seeking customer service, then the pay must promote superior customer service behaviour

If seeking team based work, then pay must promote team performance

WHY EXECUTIVE/MANAGERIAL COMPENSATION IS DIFFERENT

Factors & variables are numerous in management jobs & simple comparisons and ratings may not be possible.

Executives are not organized as unionized staff. Secrecy-differing pay based on competence,

experience, loyalty Not based on individual performance but on unit’s Subject to statutory ceilings ????

FACTORS INFLUENCING MANAGERIAL COMPENSATION

Organization's capacity to pay Prevailing pay & benefits in industry/location Competition in industry & availability of special

competent personnel Flexibility Performance/Productivity/Responsibilities of individuals Organization's Philosophy (to be a leader or pay

prevailing rates) Qualification & Relevant experience Stability of employment & advancement opportunities.
