Compensation Modern Trends

The compensation and benefits area is not that trendy as the recruitment area and it is more about the overall stability of the processes and the trends are not that visible and quickly changing.

The Internet brought new trends mainly to the area of benefits. The companies left the policy of making the strict offers to its employees and they started to offer flexible benefits organized in the Cafeteria system.

The Cafeteria Benefits Systems were extremely modern and all large organizations had to introduce them to stay competitive on the job market. The people were talking about their flexible benefits and their budget, they can spend. It was a killing moment, the budget made the benefit package comparable with the competitors.

Later, the companies found out, the total flexibility is not the right solution. The idea of a total freedom given to employees failed as they did not spend money as their own money, but as a nice extra gift.

The compensation modern trends are mainly about not compensating people and limiting the number of employees in the organization. The rules how to calculate the overall performance of the company as diving the net profit by the number of employees makes the organizations to play the nasty game with outsourcing of many activities.

The newest modern compensation trend will be about the return to the roots and making the compensation and benefits working for the whole organization and its shareholders. The organization will focus on the overall performance again and the compensation and benefits will have to support the effort to achieve new performance target. It will the trend.
