IS REWARD THE EMPLOYER’S
SECRET WEAPON?
Reward specialists have long sought out sustainability, aiming to achieve maximum return on payroll spend. Employee wellbeing and retention are also now pressing issues. Unilever’s new digital platform puts reward on the frontline of these interlinked agendas. Ruth Holmes explores.
P
ersonalised, self-service mobility and reward packages are very much in vogue. Lump-sum packages and a proliferation of apps and software linking assignees and business travellers directly to service providers
are now commonplace. Employers and external HR service providers have been quick
to capitalise on globally mobile employees’ preferences for greater choice in rewards and benefits. Global fast-moving consumer goods company Unilever is among them. In the all-important context of talent, Unilever’s approach
offers employees more choice around their benefits and rewards – and the tools to access and adapt them according to their evolving life-stage needs, including for the company’s globally mobile employees. Built on 10 years of practical experience, its newly
commercialised uFlexReward total digital reward platform is also taking personalisation to the next level. Unilever is spinning out its enterprise innovation to the global community. The uFlexReward platform offers organisations complete oversight and accurate benchmarking alongside the all-important personalisation employees in the multi-generational workforce seek.
LEVERAGING INSIGHTS FOR COMMERCIAL SUCCESS Unilever’s global head of reward Peter Newhouse spoke to Relocate to explain how its collaborative and more sustainable rewards and benefits management platform is maximising return on corporate investment by targeting employee engagement and talent retention. It is clear that uFlexReward’s collaborative approach to
rewards and benefits addresses the common challenge multi- site international organisations face: securing accurate, truly comparable international data. This oversight includes compliance, where accurate reporting across the organisation takes place in minutes rather than days or weeks – a critical feature in today’s legislative context and focus on inclusion. The digital platform is also ticking the box for reward
professionals around the need for accurate, transparent global overviews, while ensuring market competitiveness for Unilever’s total reward and benefits packages. Yet it’s around collaboration where Unilever is innovating
to truly leverage the benefits of the fourth industrial revolution. The uFlexReward spin-out offers organisations the chance to collaborate and share quality global rewards and benefits
