What is a Total reward statement letter?
A total reward statement is a document that provides an overview of an employee's total compensation and benefits package. It includes details on the employee's base salary, bonuses or incentives, and the value of any benefits, such as pensions, health insurance, and paid time off. The statement aims to communicate the full value of an employee's package, beyond just their basic salary.
Total reward statements can be an effective way to improve employee engagement and retention by providing transparency and recognition of the value of an employee's compensation and benefits package. It can also help to support a positive workplace culture, by demonstrating an employer's commitment to fair and competitive compensation and benefits.
Total reward statements may be provided to employees on an annual basis, or as part of an ongoing employee communication program. The statement may be provided as a physical document, or it may be available online through an employee portal.
Overall, a total reward statement is a useful tool for employers to communicate the value of their compensation and benefits package to their employees, and to support employee engagement and retention.
