You need a value proposition compelling enough to draw top talent to your business. You need a compensation plan that encourages both short and long-term performance. You need to find a way to effectively share value with those who help create it. But your strength is building a company, not building pay strategies. And so you are perpetually dissatisfied with the results your compensation plan is delivering.

This is the problem VisionLink solves. We design performance-centered rewards plans that drive the outcomes you seek so you can spend your time executing a business growth strategy that will create the future company you have envisioned.

If your pay strategy is incomplete and needs additional pieces to become more compelling, then you fall in this experience category. This means our work will likely focus on helping you construct the right incentive plans—ones that drive the results you’re looking for. Perhaps right now you pay an annual bonus but have nothing that rewards long-term performance. Or maybe your annual incentive plan is ineffective and needs revision. Hey, you may have no value-sharing plan at all!

If your compensation plan has missing pieces, our goal is to ensure your rewards offering becomes complete, compelling and competitive.

Many organizations have built their pay offering one piece at a time over an extended period. When this happens, sooner or later leadership realizes its ad hoc approach has created what amounts to compensation “chaos.” There is no rewards philosophy guiding decision-making and no systems or processes for envisioning, creating and sustaining a comprehensive and cohesive pay strategy. We consider businesses in this condition to be having a negative pay structure experience. Many in this camp engage us to help them build a Total Compensation Structure and process, then to design or repair the specific rewards plans they need.

Businesses sometimes find they are not getting “credit” for the generous value proposition they offer. In other words, employees are not fully appreciating the financial opportunity their employer is providing. As a result, there is little "line of sight" created and the employer brand is not benefiting from the superior experience employees have been offered. This prevents a high-performance culture from fully taking root.

When you have a disconnect that is impairing your employer brand, our goal is to ensure your employees gain clarity about the connection between the vision of the company, its business model and strategy, their role and what’s expected of them, and how they are rewarded for fulfilling those expectations.

The foundation of a performance-centered pay strategy is effective value-sharing. Since 1996, VisionLink has built incentive plans for hundreds of companies in virtually every industry. We know what works..and what doesn't. We advocate for a value-sharing approach that has a single, overarching philosophy applied towards two separate performance and rewards periods and plans, as illustrated below.
