Why Organizations Must Align Performance & Rewards?
A well-integrated Performance Management and Total Reward Strategy is crucial for attracting, retaining, and motivating top talent. However, research from Gallup (2023) reveals that only 20% of employees feel their performance is effectively managed, and a Mercer (2023) study found that 65% of employees believe their compensation does not reflect their contributions.
Organizations that fail to align these strategies face:
•Low engagement and productivity – Employees who don’t see a connection between their work and rewards are 40% less productive (Deloitte, 2023).
•High turnover and talent loss – 45% of employees leave due to dissatisfaction with performance reviews and rewards (LinkedIn, 2023).
•Inconsistent business results – Companies with misaligned performance and rewards see up to 30% lower profitability (BCG, 2023).
