9. Highlights of the Compensation Policy
• Recognition of employee contribution was a major tool. Enjoying the
work, job rotation, expression of appreciation, bigger desk, note of
thanks, and challenging work assignments were the important ones.
• Individual and group incentives were created to increase team work,
reduce supervision, shorter training time etc.
• Treats, knick-knacks, social acknowledgements, awards, tokens, on
the job training, and good office environment became the plus point
for the organization.
• Another attraction became the cafeteria benefit plan, wherein,
employees are given choice to select benefits by assessing their needs
and preferences were introduced. For example: An employee choice
health care insurance and other life insurance.
12. Conclusion
• Recruitment and retention of qualified employees is a common goal
shared by many employers. To some extent, the availability and cost
of qualified applicants for open positions is determined by market
factors beyond the control of the employer. Compensation may also
be used as a reward for exceptional job performance. Examples of
such plans include: bonuses, commissions, stock, profit sharing, gain
sharing. This is what we saw in the case of TCS.
