The report highlights interesting trends in terms of not only how compensation and benefits structures have evolved in India over last few decades but also how these vary from Industry to Industry ; how new age industry sectors differ from tradition industry sectors and what employees actually value. The Age of Plain old salary increments is over and a radical compensation mix – comprising between 60% and 40% fixed-to-variable and between 38% and 85% intangible-to-tangible – is ushering in the Total Rewards era in India. As a critical component of Total Rewards, Flexi-benefits are fast gaining currency thanks to personalization, higher perceived value and better tax benefits. Sectors employing a bigger pool of mid-level professionals have a rationalized compensation and rewards structure, and hierarchical profiling shows up a sharp increase in variable pay higher up the hierarchy. While organizations are taking active measures to retain critical talent substantial mismatch between employee and employer expectations at both the talent acquisition and retention phases diminishes the economic value to both. Employers have an “attraction disconnects”, and “retention disconnect”; Employee carries liberal benefits expectations throughout the lifecycle and has substantially low satisfaction levels on compensation and benefits.
2. • A radical compensation mix - comprising between 60% and
40% fixed-to-variable and between 38% and 85% intangible
-to-tangible - is ushering in the Total Rewards era in India
• The age of plain salary increments is long dead, and the last 7 years
have brought rapid transformation in Compensation diversification and
personalization
• A holistic employee perspective has upped spending on
recognition to 52% of benefits budgets and on privileges to
55%, with new-age businesses bringing fun, finance and
wellness together
• From flex-time at Flipkart, recreational games at Snapdeal and
fitness programs at Fitbit, to flex-time at Flipkart, recreational games
at Snapdeal and fitness programs at Fitbit, to ‘Compressed
workweeks’ at Facebook and Elder Care Assistance at Wipro, new-age
companies innovate way better
• As a critical component of Total Rewards, Flexi-benefits are
fast gaining currency thanks to personalization, higher
perceived value and better tax benefits
• While the actual cost of flex-benefits is 10% - 15% of salary
employees perceive them to be adding 42% to their compensation
package, because flex-benefits save substantial tax and potentially
increase take-home pay
• With nil impact of GST on gifts and perquisites, and little
impact on most other components flexi-benefits potentially
increase net income for employees by 28%
• Gifts and perquisites above INR 4,999 are taxed as per the income
tax law and only financial benefits as insurance and travel, among the
many flex-benefits components, attract 12% - 18% GST

Trends, Employer
considerations and
Taxation
3. • Sectors employing a bigger pool of mid-level professionals
have a rationalized compensation and rewards structure,
and hierarchical profiling shows up sharp increase in
variable pay higher up the hierarchy
• BFSI, Telecommunications, IT, E-commerce and FMCD/G, belong in
the category of sectors that have rationalized C&B structures;
Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing and BPO/ITeS have
wider organizational bases and a plethora of options; KPO, Retail,
Media & Entertainment and Travel & Tourism have lean but
innovative structures
• While organizations are taking active measures to retain
critical talent substantial mismatch between employee and
employer expectations at both the talent acquisition and
retention phases diminishes economic value to both
• Employers have an “attraction disconnect”, a lopsided view of employee
expectations during acquisition, and a “retention disconnect”, fairly
appropriate yet diluted understanding during the retention phase;
Employee carry liberal benefits expectations throughout the lifecycle
and have substantially low satisfaction levels on compensation and
benefits
• Organizations need to be honest with their intent, put
earnest effort and prioritize on - aligning rewards with
business obj ectives, communicating effectively and
personalization, in that order
• Compensation and Benefits need to be structured to have a cultural fit,
be personalized, voluntary and convenient, and with the leadership
participating; and avoid a force-fit, with insincere, apathetic and
cumbersome programs that do not walk the talk
