Compensation systems

My specialisms


More information ...


This area includes knowledge of compensation systems for the various functional levels of managers and employees within the organization that report to the executive committee. In some companies, the higher levels of managers are referred to as executives. In my definition only the compensation for the executive management appointed by the board falls under executive compensation.

I provide support for HR/compensation management teams at local and international companies in operational or strategic compensation activities. Thanks to many years of experience in corporate practice and consultancy, I have extensive expertise and management knowledge. Compensation for international management teams is one of my core strengths, as are compensation systems for all other employees. In many cases, these systems are the same, with differences in terms of structure and a lower or higher share of variable compensation depending on the individuals.

I do not provide my own comparative data on compensation. For compensation or market comparisons, I use your data or acquire data from third parties. For market comparisons, I focus chiefly on the quality, relevance and applicability of data. I offer added value by performing a critical assessment of the data and its usage.

My work in this field is closely interlinked with my expertise in participation programs and international compensation. Please read the descriptions in these sections for more information. In many companies, compensation for upper management levels (vice presidents, directors, senior managers, etc.) is determined and monitored by the executive committee in order to ensure compliance with uniform principles and internal governance.
