The mission of Freelance Total Rewards is to advance effective total rewards and mobility practices in Asia. Let me share how we, as a profession, have advanced in 2016, from my direct observation. Based on hundreds of interactions with clients, consultants, students and various HR and rewards practitioners, I have seen the following developments in 2016. For now, I will only list them. Watch future blogs for more commentary on each.
Total Rewards Advancements in 2016
- We continue to develop professionally through continuous education.
- We are reevaluating “pay for performance” from the Asian perspective.
- We are taking flexible work arrangements more seriously.
- We are starting to show HR is about good management, not about HR.
- Big HR firms are more focused on expensive products than ever.
- Mobility expertise is more about getting value for money
- Job evaluation is coming in-house as big firm solutions are unsustainable.
- HR is under increasing pressure from CEOs to source good talent.
- DB is as good as dead. Everything is now DC except healthcare.
- Seniority based grading and promotion is fighting for survival.
Have a great 2017!

A great summary Tom! Agility, flexibility, customized solutions are all part and parcel of the new world order. Traditional sources are being challenged with complete makeovers – and old and traditional processes that are entrenched need significant makeover!
