Innovating in value sharing: the compensation footprint and employee shareholding
Value sharing is a key issue for companies wishing to attract new talent and maintain the commitment and motivation of their employees
At Alixio, we help you to innovate in value sharing, focusing on key concepts such as compensation footprint and employee ownership.
Corporate value sharing: what is it?
Value sharing refers to the set of mechanisms by which a company redistributes its profits among its various actors: employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders. This concept includes various schemes such as voluntary and statutory profit-sharing and benefits, aimed at motivating and retaining employees.
The importance of good compensation footprint management for the employer
For value sharing to be carried out under optimal conditions, companies need to be aware of their compensation footprint. This measurement accounts for all costs and benefits associated with the various salary components within a company. This includes salaries, bonuses, voluntary profit-sharing and benefits.
Good compensation footprint management ensures a fair distribution of benefits and optimises collective performance. It offers several advantages for all stakeholders:
- Cost optimisation: By better understanding the structure of compensation costs, companies can make more informed decisions.
- Pay equity: Ensuring a fair distribution of compensation contributes to a more harmonious business environment.
- Employee engagement: Employees feel valued and involved in the success of the company.
Why innovate in value sharing?
Modern and social compensation strategies motivate employees, recognise top performers, and promote a fair distribution of benefits. These innovations are also an asset in attracting and retaining new talent.
Collective performance and employee savings
Today, performance is a key challenge in companies’ re-emergence from the pandemic: how to remobilise all employees while recognising top performers? Through the distribution of profits, through various schemes (voluntary and statutory profit-sharing, employee savings, etc.), we help companies to put the right collective performance criteria in place. Alixio Group will help you to find the winning voluntary profit-sharing formula.
Employee shareholding
When wage policies are squeezed by corporate competitiveness, employee shareholding is a win-win solution. This allows employees to become shareholders in their company and offers many benefits for all stakeholders involved. By fostering a corporate culture based on ownership and commitment, employee shareholding contributes to better collective performance:
- Increased motivation: Employee shareholders are more motivated and involved in the success of the company.
- Alignment of interests: The interests of employees and shareholders converge, promoting more harmonious management.
- Retention: Employee share plans help to retain talent by strengthening their sense of belonging.
Enabling each employee to hold an equity interest in their company is not something to be done without planning: we provide you with extensive experience in turning plans into action, steering them and deploying them internationally. With Alixio, entrust your employee shareholding policy to experts in the field, with proven methods.
Definition and implementation of value-sharing schemes
Implementing a value-sharing strategy requires careful consideration and specialised expertise. At Alixio, we support you every step of the way to ensure the success of your process. Here’s how we do it:
1. Analysis of value-sharing needs
Identify employee expectations and company objectives
We conduct surveys and interviews to gather employee expectations and perceptions about their compensation and value-sharing scheme. At the same time, we work closely with management and human resources to gain an understanding of the company’s strategic objectives. This dual approach makes it possible to reconcile employee aspirations with company priorities, creating a harmonious and productive work environment.
2. Development of a value sharing plan
Propose appropriate sharing arrangements
Once the needs and objectives are clearly defined, we develop tailor-made solutions, in line with the company’s aspirations, such as:
- Voluntary profit-sharing agreement: Schemes that link a portion of employee compensation to the collective performance of the company. We identify relevant performance criteria and develop effective voluntary profit-sharing formulas.
- Statutory profit-sharing agreement: We help to set up statutory profit-sharing schemes, allowing employees to benefit directly from the company’s strong financial performance.
- Employee shareholding plans: We design programmes that allow employees to become shareholders in the company, reinforcing their commitment and sense of belonging.
3. Implementation
Support the implementation of the chosen solutions
Careful planning and management are necessary for the implementation of the chosen solutions. We support your company every step of the way:
- Internal communications: We develop communication plans to inform employees and raise awareness of the new schemes, highlighting their benefits and how they work.
- Training: We offer training sessions for managers and HR managers, so that they can effectively manage the schemes put in place.
- Trial: We monitor the implementation, ensuring that each step is carried out within the prescribed and legal deadlines and in line with the defined objectives.
4. Monitoring and adjustment
Evaluate results and adjust schemes to ensure their effectiveness
To ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of value-sharing schemes, we implement performance indicators. The objective: to evaluate the results achieved and identify potential areas for improvement:
- Analysis of results: We analyse the data collected to measure the impact of the devices on employee motivation, collective performance and overall satisfaction.
- Adjustments: Based on the results obtained, we propose improvements to optimise existing schemes. This may include changes to the voluntary profit-sharing criteria, adjustments to share ownership plans or revisions to statutory profit-sharing schemes.
- Feedback: We regularly collect feedback from employees and managers, but also from management. This allows us to ensure that the arrangements meet the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.
