In order to successfully drive your strategy, the appropriate compensation, rewards and recognition systems must be in place. Whether your salary program needs a tune-up, your bonus and incentive plans require some refinement, or you want to develop a simple recognition program to focus on a few key behaviors, we can help. Working with your leadership team, we will perform a comprehensive assessment of your current programs and help you to develop appropriate strategies, tools and employee communications. Just as importantly, we’ll be there with you for implementation.

There were some program design considerations that turned us off. One company (with which Cambiar has a relationship) required us to tell them the name of our client; “that’s our company policy.” We declined and asked to have someone with decision- making authority to give us a call — that never happened. Done. Many providers are being scooped up by large SaaS companies. As a result, it seemed that some of the business development people we spoke with were trying to do their jobs while on shifting sands.
