Total Compensation Strategy
Managing Diversity
Nationally and internationally, companies are facing the task of reassessing the balance between their own identity and the force of integration. Centralism often makes access to new markets and regions difficult. Distinctive local autonomies, on the other hand, endanger the overall organization and identity of the company. Connected with this is the question of whether a unified and global compensation policy should exist, and how much room for maneuver local and regional entities and organizations should be given.
In heterogeneous corporate and company structures, in particular, there are no unified compensation strategies and structures. Systematic guidelines exist at most for the top management; in middle management levels, on the other hand, no corporation- or company-wide strategy is adhered to. For these management levels, a number of conflicting compensation strategies have often developed within the grown legal structures.
