First box – Total Rewards is more than base pay. Ask them to think about all of the rewards they receive using the Nestle Total Reward model
Second box – We are conducting a review the current Total Rewards proposition to all employees within our market, considering:
Our business strategy and leadership perspectives
Typical market practice to ensure we are competitive
Costs to ensure we get value for money for our rewards spend
Employee opinions to ensure we deliver the right total rewards proposition to our people
Total Rewards is not just about pay and benefits
Today we want to hear from you 1
