The reasons why a growing number of employers are introducing total reward (or total remuneration) statements include:
They want to leverage more value from the investment they are making in providing employee benefits;
To give employees complete clarity on the benefits that they receive and their tangible value;
To encourage employees to think in terms of their total remuneration rather than just their base salary “plus benefits”. So when an employee compares their remuneration package with a competitor organisation they are not just comparing base salaries;
To act as a precursor to the implementation of flexible benefits. In this way employees become familiar with the concept of pricing their benefits.
