Reward, Performance and Talent Audit

A reward, performance and talent audit is a data-driven and structured, analytical assessment and audit of your reward structure and processes, particularly how this integrates with individual performance and talent. It ensures that every aspect of your organisation’s reward is:

purposeful and deliberate
cost effective
linked to results and improving profitability
retaining the right talent

This provides HR leadership with a clear, evidence-based view of:

where reward spend is most effective
where reward is ineffective: identifying “leaks” in the organisation’s reward spend and opportunities to optimise the links between reward, performance and talent.
proposed solutions to maximise reward effectiveness

Retention of key talent is a focus, ensuring that your structures ensure the retention of your best talent.

Bespoke Benchmarking

Reward governance and decision-making increasingly rely on a data-driven and evidence-based approach. REM Solutions provides tailored remuneration benchmarking, particularly for executive and specialist roles. Executive Director and Prescribed Officer benchmarks provide remuneration committees with specific and focused industry comparisons, giving comprehensive feedback and guidance on remuneration levels, structure and potential earnings. This includes:

guaranteed remuneration
short-term incentives: realised and potential earnings
long-term incentives: realised and potential earnings
long term incentive award values
long-term incentive structures and performance criteria
specific executive remuneration structures, such as deferral, clawback and malus provisions

Visual analytics tools are used to provide clear insights and decision-support.

Similarly, bespoke benchmarking provides remuneration committees and HR management with feedback and guidance on identified key roles and comparison companies, to provide guidance on both remuneration levels and structures.
