Amplifying intelligence in total rewards

Total rewards teams already work with huge volumes of data to make informed decisions around compensation and benefits. Amplified intelligence happens when artificial intelligence (AI) bridges gaps in our knowledge to stimulate new standards of work quality, decision-making and value creation. As AI advances, leading firms are experimenting with amplified intelligence, such as:
  • Predictive performance analytics
  • Pay equity and transparency
  • Rewards and recognition
  • Executive compensation

Five strategies to future-fit total rewards

Achieving success in total rewards requires balance. Employers seek cost-effective, well-benchmarked plans that attract top talent. Employees desire more of everything. However, with constrained budgets, it's becoming increasingly difficult to meet the diverse needs of today's employees.
