Redefining recognition and reward to drive performance
Rewards and benefits
Working successfully from anywhere
While the war for talent continues and budgets remain under pressure, firms find themselves struggling to attract and retain the talent they need to fulfil their strategic ambitions. Having an attractive and innovative remuneration value proposition in place can make your firm truly stand out. Calling on HR data and analytics, we work with companies to help them devise and introduce a cost-effective reward architecture that’s fully compliant and offers transparency to stakeholders.
We help you understand how to best improve your payroll processes and incentivise your people, especially if your business is undergoing major change or transformation, including the harmonisation of reward strategies in cases of merger or acquisition. We can also advise on your mobility strategy and help you switch to more sustainable solutions and increase workplace flexibility.
With PwC, you can cater to the expectations of your workforce from their first day until they retire, and that in an international context, if required.

Executive remuneration and private clients
Finding the balance between offering a competitive package and legal, tax and social security considerations requires specialist insight and expertise. We work with executives and private clients from analysis to practical implementation (including reporting and compliance).
Reward architecture
Having a skilled and motivated workforce is key to securing the resources you require, and grading jobs is the building block to effectively plan a future workforce. Our proprietary PwC-TrueChoice technology enables you to measure employee preferences in real time, so you can adapt to the changing reward landscape.
Pay transparency
Pay transparency is more than a signal to employees about your commitment to pay equity, it’s now a legal requirement in the EU. By viewing pay transparency as a moral imperative, it extends beyond mere compliance, to foster a culture of fairness, transparency and accountability.
Benefits and wage incentives
Employment tax incentives, eco-friendly cars and greater work flexibility can help you win the war for talent and meet stakeholder demands, while assuring compliance. Building, maintaining or revisiting a sustainable pension plan is a valuable part of this mix.
Reward in transactions
Transactions in all shapes and sizes impact the workforce of the companies involved and require a clear roadmap to remain attractive and compliant. Competitive management incentive plans help motivate leaders to work toward a joint vision and keep them engaged with your company.
Partnership compensation
Compensating those with a vested interest in your firm can be a complex business, especially if you operate internationally. We have long-standing experience in areas as diverse as developing, adapting or implementing a partner compensation model and ensuring local and cross-border compliance.
