Total Rewards and Competitive Advantage

Total Rewards and Competitive Advantage

Mapping is a technique that is often used in the business world to track and measure various indicators. Product positioning maps, business process maps, and strategic roadmaps are all examples of mapping tools that visually represent key information for organizational leaders to analyze. Another type of map that is applicable for analyzing total rewards is the compensation strategy map.

A compensation strategy map provides a snapshot of an organization’s total rewards package and how it relates to different strategic objectives. An effective compensation strategy map can help determine the total rewards message conveyed to employees. In addition, the map can be used to determine how well a total rewards package aligns to an organization’s strategic objectives. If the map indicates that the total rewards do not align, the organization may need to reconsider its total rewards package.
