Why spend the time developing compensation strategy? One recent estimate
assessed the development time at about six months. The underlying premise of
any strategic perspective is: If managers make pay decisions consistent with
the organization's business strategy, responsive to external and internal
conditions, and consistent with the overall human resources strategy, then the
organization is more likely to be competitive. This statement is based on belief,
not systematic evidence. No studies link the implementation of compensation
strategy with business success. Indeed, there are so many factors unrelated to
compensation that can influence business strategy success that disentangling the
effects of compensation strategy is a difficult task.
Recent studies do offer guidelines on the effects of certain decisions,
specifically pay-far-performance plans, on fum performance. It has been
documented, for example, that Gainsharing plans are related to between 10
percent and 17 percent improvement in performance. Performance in these
studies included rates of absenteeism, suggestions, and safety as well as cost
17
and production measures. The longest period covered by any study was 18
months. It has also been shown that firms distinguish themselves through
decisions on incentive pay plans more than they do through decisions about the
competitive level of base pay. Thus, the conventional competitive decisions,
such as leading or meeting competition, may be obsolete. Rather, fmns seem
to establish competitive positions based on the nature of their incentive plans.
Further, studies show that greater use of bonuses and long-term incentives is
associated with better fIrm performance. SpecifIcally, according to one study
of over 250 fmns, an increase of 10 percentage points in the bonus!base ratio
is associated with .21 to .95 greater return on assets. Some evidence also
suggests that such plans are more successful when they are part of a total or
strategic approach to compensation.
A note of caution: Negative results and failed compensation plans are
seldom reported. Consequently, much of the work in this area needs to be
treated with some caution. However, a conservative conclusion is that empirical
evidence does support the proposition that performance-based pay, as part of an
overall strategic approach, does contribute to fIrm performance.
There are also some potential side benefIts of developing a compensation
strategy. It provides a business-related rationale for compensation system
changes that may be useful in explaining decisions to both employees and
outside regulators. The process of compensation strategy development requires
the managers involved to stretch their understanding of all aspects of the
organization and the environment in which they are competing and their
relationship to pay. The process may spark ideas for much needed change in
often overly bureaucratic pay systems.
