We interviewed 20 total rewards leaders to discover how their businesses are evolving, whether their total rewards fulfill current needs and how they are preparing for future challenges.

The total rewards leaders interviewed represent large, complex organizations across various industries, many of which have global footprints. Several of these organizations are part of the Global Fortune 100 with revenues exceeding $50 billion. And each significantly impacts society and the economy through their products, services and business practices.

Drawing on the experiences and perspectives of these total rewards leaders, this white paper offers guidance for organizations seeking to optimize their total rewards strategy and drive business value.
