A reward agency advises clients on all matters regarding employee remuneration, i.e. the total salary package offered to their employees. This package include all remuneration components like pension schemes, employee benefits and bonus programs. The agency helps clients set up policies to better attract, motivate and retain employees. It helps set up the organizational hierarchy of a company to provide greater fairness in the pay structures as well as clearer career paths for the company’s employees. It helps benchmark a company’s pay levels against the market. A reward agency typically advises the reward division within a company’s HR department, or functions as an outsourced reward department if a company hasn’t set up a unit dedicated to this task.
