Project Summary: “Total reward strategies should be people-centric and focus on the rewards that are useful for your particular team. Not every policy will work in every workplace, as they should be tailored to the individuals and organizations that they exist to support” (Reilly, 2019). Throughout this course, readings and resources, you have been exploring the facets of compensation. One method of tailoring a Total Rewards strategy is to consider the theories of compensation and how those theories translate into motivating employee behavior. Designing a pay structure with pay-levels and the correct pay mix along with mandated and flexible benefit options requires the necessary data from a job analysis, market comparisons, and salary surveys.
