Happy Easter | Rewards

🐰 I treated myself to a very nice 🥚 this year for Easter. Did you get one from your employer, is the gift of an 🥚important to you?

📍Reward is a topic that has been across my desk all week, my clients are doing very well and successfully achieving the roles they are interviewing for, which has naturally led us to the topic of compensation and benefits and the negotiation of same.

📍There are a lot of different parts to a reward package. I have put together some information that might be of use to you if you are in the fortunate position to be negotiating.

✅ What base salary do you need, and how important is this component of your overall compensation and benefits package.
✅ What benefits are also included, holiday pay, health insurance, maternity and paternity leave and a company pension.
✅ Is there are variable pay element to your package, for example bonus, incentives, overtime and how likely is it that you will receive this element of the package?
✅ Non-financial rewards such as flexible working, opportunities for personal and career development, recognition etc.
✅ Pay progression, if you accept the salary that is offered, how long do you have to wait until you progress from that salary, and what is the likely increment when you do.

📍When looking at the reward package on offer, think about what you need financially and what benefits are relevant for the stage of life that you are currently at.

📍Then consider the non-financial rewards and how important they are to you.

🐰 Happy Easter to all my clients and students, and thank you for all your support so far this year, 2025 has had an amazing first quarter looking forward to continuing a very successful year.
