The Reward and Recognize Talent value chain encompasses a comprehensive set of processes designed to manage compensation, variable pay, benefits, and recognition programs within an organization. These processes can be grouped into four main categories:
Salary Review
Budgeting and Preparation
The salary review process begins with determining and approving budgets (MHR-90-10-10). This is followed by preparing the compensation framework and guidelines, and setting up the system for planning managers to use (MHR-90-10-20).
Execution and Communication
Once preparations are complete, the salary review is executed. This involves consolidating and approving the reviews, and communicating the results to employees (MHR-90-10-30).
Short-Term Incentives (STI)
Plan Design and Setup
The process starts with designing and setting up short-term incentive plans, which are then approved and assigned to employees (MHR-90-20-10).
Forecasting and Calculation
Periodic forecasting of STI payments is conducted (MHR-90-20-20), followed by the calculation, approval, and communication of these payments (MHR-90-20-30).
Long-Term Incentives (LTI)
Budgeting and Preparation
Similar to the salary review process, LTI review begins with budget determination and approval (MHR-90-30-10). This is followed by preparing the compensation framework and guidelines, and setting up the system for planning managers (MHR-90-30-20).
Execution
The LTI review is then executed, consolidated, and approved (MHR-90-30-30).
Award Programs
Design and Setup
This process involves setting up peer recognition programs in SuccessFactors (MHR-90-40-10).
Nomination and Communication
The final step includes nominating, approving, and activating peer recognitions. It also covers the automated generation of rewards for employee milestones or life events (MHR-90-40-20).
These processes collectively form a comprehensive system for managing various aspects of employee compensation and recognition. They ensure that organizations can effectively reward and recognize talent through structured, fair, and transparent methods.
