Problem Statement:

“Challenges in last few years with Compensation in Deloitte-USI”

Deloitte USI is a very good company; Compensation is a very important component of any
organization. To retain top talent and reduce the iteration rate Deloitte has struggled over the
past few years but due to their bad management, they are not able to achieve the same.

However, over the last few years, the compensation was not up to the mark they have hired
top talent by giving them higher compensation as compared to the market but also at the same
time they have not raised the salary of the existing employees. This situation creates a huge
gap in compensation for those who were already working and those who were newly hired.
Although each employee's compensation is linked to each performance and there should be a
market correction for all the Deloitte employees.

Theoretical causes of the problem:

Below are the top challenges faced by Deloitte to manage compensation:

‍
‍
 Budget constraints: Deloitte-USI has a very competitive budget to provide perfect
comp off for every employee since all of its budget is used for research and by paying
salaries to higher management.

 Competitiveness: Deloitte must regulate its compensation as per market competition.

It is very difficult for a global company to analyze all the data with accuracy.

 Pay equity: It is currently a challenge for Deloitte to precisely assess payment

structure so that they can address all genders, races, and ages.

 Regulatory compliance: Deloitte needs to match with the different labor laws and
regulations. This is a very time hard job when you are a global company as different
countries have different laws.

 Performance dimension: It depends on each employee's performance if he is doing

good or not but sometimes the criteria for performance if not good enough which
results in bad performances for a top individual.
  Internal and external benefits: In addition to financial comp off, Deloitte needs to
benefit their employee from time to time for their milestone achievement and after
project completion. But sometimes higher management takes up all the credits and
juniors don’t get much.

 Communication: Communication is a very important aspect of compensation

payment. When HR communicate very well with the employees about their
expectation, so that there is motivation to do work.

 Retention and turnover: Employees nowadays leave the job if they are not paid
well. Markets are now so competitive that turnover rates are very low.

 Adapting to change: Deloitte is very slow in adapting to changes and only follows
their old traditional formula for ages.

 Implementing technology: using the latest technology may consume all the budget
for the current year you may end up hiring cheap resources that may cause higher
iteration.

Initiatives of the company to solve problems:

Deloitte needs to increase its non-monetary benefits for example work-life balance, flexible
working hours and work-from-home opportunities, and a good work culture. these few things
help talent retain employees without having any impact on the compensation budget.
.

 Competition: Deloitte needs to keep up with the market standard. Compensation is

very complex and challenging, as any organization needs to analyze all the market
data to compete. Deloitte is now doing surveys to understand all the market gaps and
to keep up with the market.

 Fixed salaries and benefits for performance: Deloitte is offering pay which is
variable and linked to each employee's performance. this results in higher turnover
and a good satisfaction work life. The structure of compensation should be balanced
and include variable pay and fixed pay. For individuals’ performance, it should be
measured properly and then rewards should be good enough and it should define
correctly to retain good talent.

 Internal and External Benefits: Deloitte is now offering compensation that includes
external benefits as well as Internal benefits. external benefits like offering personal
time off and holiday plans where you can book some good hotels and get discounts
using the Deloitte referral code. they have a smartphone program in which Deloitte is
giving 25k INR to buy any smartphone for everyone. And similarly, they have
increased their Internal benefits by restructuring their compensation.
  Cost-of-living: In the current market inflation is a very big challenge and to beat the
inflation each one of the employees should have a significant raise in their salary
every year. now things are getting expensive, and employees are not getting market-
standard salaries this gives everyone less purchasing power. So, the cost of living is
getting much higher than expected. Deloitte has now increased its annual increment
percentage so that employees can match the cost of living.

Compensation philosophy:

 Market competition: Deloitte is now doing market correction for all employees so
that as per the current market all compensation is paid to every employee as per the
market competition. They have adjusted salaries of those who are in lower pay as per
market and then try to make equilibrium in Deloitte so that everyone gives their best
performance.

 Balanced compensation: Deloitte now offers a variable and fixed component in the
offer letter itself for transparency. To balance the compensation Deloitte has
introduced a recognition program in which they pay spot awards, applause awards and
 best milestone awards which have monetary benefits, and they have non-monetary
benefits as well like giving certificates if you achieve some goals.

 Performance pays: Performance pay is the one where Deloitte had made a huge
change and set some criteria where if any employee completes all the criteria, they are
eligible for a good rating at the year-end review, and that results in good performance
pay.

 HR role in Internal equity: HR roles in Internal Equity are to ensure good

compensation benefits, good organization design, performance, good recruitment &
selection, and Talent.
Deloitte is maximizing its compensation budget by introducing various strategies that help
employees to achieve their goals and eventually, it helps Deloitte to retain employees and
give promotions and it will help Deloitte to grow faster.

Using the below pay programs to manage costs:

 Cash Incentives: This a new program offered nowadays in which employees can get
cash benefits when they complete some goals.

 Stock Options: Deloitte is now offering stock options when hiring a new employee.

 Profit sharing: When you reach a certain level in Deloitte where you are capable of
getting business for Deloitte then Deloitte will offer them a profit sharing to those
employees.
  Career Development Incentives: Deloitte now offers IJP where they can train you to
get an internal job in some cases you get paid for the IJP completion.

 Non-Cash Incentives: Certificates and wellbeing like holidays and personal time off.

Deloitte can use the below pay programs to reduce its labor expenses and able to maintain
quality & productivity.

 Outsourcing the projects: Outsourcing the projects is a good way to reduce the cost
in the company and then save all the money to provide existing employees good hikes
and monetary benefits.

 Hiring contractors: Deloitte is now hiring contractors for all the short-term projects
where they don’t need to provide them all the benefits that a permanent employee can
get and at the same time, they are saving costs by hiring them for the short-term.
 Remote working: With the rise of remote work, organizations can recruit talent from
locations with lower labor costs, even if the company is based in a region with higher
prices. By employing remote workers from lower-cost areas, organizations can access
skilled professionals at a reduced cost without compromising the quality of work.

 Regional subsidiaries: Deloitte has now opened regional subsidiaries so that they
hire a local employee that helps them to reduce labor costs so they can operate them
on a regional basis.

 Development and Training: Deloitte-USI is investing in its development and

training programs. So that employees can get trained and work properly and their
productivity also increases.
  Re-engineering business process: Deloitte is re-engineering its business process so
that it can save costs they are more focused on automation so that all the repeated
work can be done by machines and eventually it helps Deloitte to save some costs.

Pay programs are managed by costs of compensation effectively. overall, which uses
employee morale company growth, and business success.

Conclusion

To conclude compensation is a major factor that can be a roadblock in companies’ success.

By taking the above measures Deloitte can retain good talent, helping them create a good
work-culture and positive environment. Comp off programs help them motivate employees to
work properly. also, when a company introduces a good compensation program it creates
competition in the market that eventually creates more opportunities for employees. Also,
companies' branding gets increased when employees are getting paid well.
