Challenge

Through workshops and scoping sessions, the client developed several reward strategies. They needed to understand the financial impact of each strategy compared to the current situation. Specifically, they required a 10-year cost projection for 1.3 million employees’ fixed salaries and allowances, identifying which employee groups would be most significantly impacted and might require compensation.

We took on the
following challenges:

  • Develop the logic for the calculation model that simulates the reality for different reward scenario’s
  • Tailor the business logic based on the available data
  • Obtain, analyze and pre-process different historical data sources to create a usable dataset of employee characteristics
  • Account for various employee groups and their specific allowances
  • Handle large-scale data processing for 1.3 million employees
  • Presenting the results in plain and understandable language
