Driving PerformanceTotal Rewards Framework &
IC Communication
Kurt Nelson, PhD
We specialize in
by maximizing the effectiveness of your total rewards strategy, compensation systems, recognition
programs and incentive contests through developing a total rewards framework and/or effectively
communicating your rewards programs.
“The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The
core of the matter is always about
changing the behavior of people.”
John Kotter - Harvard Business School

Total Rewards 3-Step Process

leading to the design of holistic total reward framework to drive
desired behaviors
Incentive Compensation Design Modeling / Testing

Incentive Plan Communication
Create and implement IC / reward communication plan
The Lantern Group takes a holistic approach to incentive compensation – looking specifically at how incentive compensation fits into the larger total rewards
framework and how you drive understanding and buy-in to the plan after it has been developed. We see this as a three-step process.
