The policy is structured around the following components: p fixed compensation: in keeping with the level of responsibility, consistent with the Group’s Core Competency Reference Guide;
p variable compensation: to encourage individual and collective performance for some employees, notably managers, sales staff and experts; p an international Group employee share ownership programme to give all employees a more meaningful stake in the company’s performance.
