Total Rewards
Total Rewards is at the Heart of an Organization’s People Strategy
In today’s volatile market, organizations are struggling to attract, retain and develop the high-performing talent needed to succeed. As workforce expectations evolve, cost pressures intensify, and business demands grow more complex, many employers are reimagining the role of Total Rewards.
Total Rewards is longer just about programs and pay. It’s a strategic lever to:
- Optimize costs
- Retain and engage talent
- Enhance employee wellbeing
- Boost productivity and performance
At Aon, we take an integrated, data-driven approach to designing and executing tailored Total Rewards strategies that align employee needs with business goals.
Our Definition of Total Rewards
Organizations realize greater value when Total Rewards is approached holistically, considering all dimensions collectively rather than in isolation.
Aon defines Total Rewards across five dimensions:
-
01
Compensation
All aspects of pay – base and variable
-
02
Benefits
Health, retirement and wellbeing
-
03
Career Development
Training programs, career pathing and skills development
-
04
Work Environment
Culture, work/life balance, flexibility arrangements
-
05
Recognition
Non-monetary incentives
When these elements are not only well-designed but also intentionally aligned, they become a powerful engine for strengthening an organization’s overall employee value proposition, and attracting and retaining talent.
