💰 INCENTIVES, BONUS PLANS & VARIABLE PAY DESIGN WORKSHOP

Design rewards that inspire performance.

A practical 3-hour live workshop for HR, Compensation & Rewards Professionals.

🎯 IS YOUR VARIABLE PAY PLAN ACTUALLY DRIVING THE RIGHT PERFORMANCE?

Many organisations introduce incentives and bonus plans with good intentions.

But poorly designed plans can create:

• Unclear performance expectations
• Rewards that employees cannot understand
• Perceived inequity
• Unintended employee behaviour
• High cost without meaningful performance impact
• Weak governance and administration

Variable pay should not simply reward activity.

It should reinforce the performance and outcomes the organisation values.

This workshop helps HR professionals understand the practical thinking and frameworks behind designing more structured incentive, bonus and variable pay plans.

🔍 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

🎯 Link Pay with Performance

Understand how to connect:

Business Goals → Performance Measures → Incentive Opportunity → Reward Outcomes

💰 Understand Incentive Plan Design

Explore the key components of an incentive or bonus plan, including:

• Eligibility
• Performance measures
• Targets
• Payout opportunities
• Thresholds and caps
• Performance periods
• Governance

⚖️ Balance Fixed and Variable Pay

Understand the strategic considerations involved in balancing:

Income Stability ↔ Performance Opportunity

while considering role requirements and organisational context.

📊 Select Meaningful Performance Measures

Learn how to assess whether performance metrics are:

✔ Relevant
✔ Measurable
✔ Understandable
✔ Within reasonable employee influence
✔ Aligned with business priorities

🛡️ Build Governance into Pay Design

Explore practical considerations around:

• Documentation
• Approval mechanisms
• Performance data
• Plan communication
• Consistent administration
• Review and governance

🛠️ LEARN THROUGH PRACTICE

This is not a compensation theory lecture.

You will work through:

✔ Incentive plan case studies
✔ Performance metric exercises
✔ Variable pay design activities
✔ Plan diagnostic exercises
✔ Reward scenario simulations
✔ Practical micro-activities

You will learn how to move from:

“We need an incentive plan.”

to:

“What performance should we reward, how should we measure it, and what should the plan design look like?”
