Balancing inflation with affordability can be a tricky business but it’s also critical according to Perron. Stressing that employers must be diligent when it comes to cost management Perron said, “The total rewards strategy is key.”
She believes that employers must explore innovative options to keep their benefits attractive. “Compensation is still very important, but it needs to be balanced,” Perron said.
“For some employees, it will be flexibility and compensation, for others, it could be a different combination but most of the time, it will not be on the compensation so how we balance every aspect in our total reward strategy is very important,” she continued.
By focusing on innovative strategies that prioritise employee satisfaction, well-being, and diversity, organisations are positioning themselves for success in a rapidly evolving world.
