Learn all about the major categories of variable pay and the key differences between short and long-term incentive plans, bonus plans, and what to consider when evaluating recognition plans.
Numerous factors determine how organizations determine their variable pay plans. Total Rewards professionals need to understand the various types of variable plans and how they are used to drive performance and results. The selection of plans depends in large part on the organization’s business objectives. Is profit the principal objective, requiring all employees to focus solely on the bottom line? Is short-term performance more important than long-term success, or vice versa?
