What Is Competency-Based Pay?

· Valuing the how (high impact behaviors) of performance as well as the what (results).

· Reinforcing high impact behaviors through pay delivery.

· Critical to success, but a bad place to start; a good place to continue.

What Does it Measure?

· Job measurement is designed to calibrate organization roles. One compared to another.

· Focus is on the job, not the person in the job. The person is very important to us, but how the person is performing in the job comes later.

· The most critical feature of a job is what are its outputs. What are we asking the job to do for the organization.

Compensation Basics

· Compensation system design is not just about how much you pay but the relative relationship between roles and pay.

· When it comes to compensation, individuals are rarely objective about the impact of their own role or performance in that role.

· People, by nature, like to keep track of their career progress. Titles are important. Organization status is important. Pay is important. It is how we keep track.

· There is never enough money to go around. Compensation management is about balancing the allocation of a very scarce resource for the organization. It is difficult and controversial in every organization.
