Role-based allowances


Define simplify and standardize add-ons for special working conditions, such as offshore work, night and weekend shifts, team leader responsibilities, and cross-border roles. Set clear criteria for eligibility and consistent application across countries and projects.

Total reward transparency


Link and quantify the value of all reward elements - including non-monetary benefits - and support the creation of dashboards and visual tools (e.g. Power BI) that enable simple comparisons across countries, roles, and levels.
