Our Services

Today’s workforce takes pride in contributing to the success of a business.

Do your compensation and performance practices give them that opportunity?
Or are employees hampered by traditional practices that reward mediocrity?

Optimum Comp Advantage, Inc. (OCA’s) services transform traditional practices into an Optimum Rewards strategy that inspires better business results.

Traditional compensation and performance practices (like merit increases) alienate your best talent. Employees want recognition for the value they bring to your business. Learn how our pay-for-success philosophy elevates business results through compensation and performance practices that motivate today’s workforce.

Executive Compensation

Leadership has a huge influence on your company’s culture. Fostering a results-driven culture requires the same buy-in and commitment from executives as it does from front-line employees. Your executive compensation strategy is pivotal in making that happen.

Executive compensation is highly competitive. Securing the best individual for your business while producing value and a competitive advantage is challenging. Do you have relevant market data? What are the best incentive plans for your business? How do you integrate business strategies with compensation?

OCA specializes in executive compensation studies, including market data on base pay, annual incentive targets, total cash targets, and equity data. We help you align your financial and non-financial business needs to reward executives for achieving positive results.

Broad-Based Compensation

Do you wish you had a way to link base pay to the value each employee brings to your company? Picture a program that clearly communicates that connection. It’s easier than you think, but it may require a shift in how you view your compensation and performance practices.

Traditional job grade/band structures and merit increases are an ineffective response to what today’s workforce wants. Employees are looking for career opportunities and competitive base pay tied to their individual value.

OCA’s broad-based compensation tools deliver what employees want and help you transition from traditional practices that sabotage better business results. Learn more about career track job structures and performance optimization tools.

Performance Optimization

Wouldn’t it be great if both you and your employees saw proof of their specific contribution to your company’s success? Think how much simpler performance evaluations would be with tools that communicate that direct relationship.

Employees want to know their efforts make a difference. You want better business results. OCA’s performance optimization tools help you link individual value to business results.

The systematic process allows you to set company, team, and individual-specific goals and metrics. Your Optimum Rewards specialists help you define and communicate the elements needed for employees to excel in their work. You create a positive performance and reward experience. And that’s good for business.

Incentive Plan Design

What do you hope to achieve with incentive compensation plans? To provide motivation for better business results, right? How will that happen if employees do not see a clear connection between what they do and the effect it has on the business?

The right kind of plan is also important. A single, all-purpose incentive plan could backfire on what you hope to accomplish. Not all your employees perform the same job functions. So, you need an incentive plan that makes sense for what they do.

OCA custom-designs short- and long-term incentive plans with individual, team, and company goals. Optimum Rewards specialists work with you to develop plan-specific metrics with results tied to payouts.

Contact us today for help developing and communicating your custom incentive plan.

Sales Compensation

Think about the level of trust you place on the sales team who represent your business. You want assurance they reflect your values and organizational goals, and are motivated to do their best to help your business succeed.

Your sales compensation plan has a tremendous impact on that success. Making it work takes a clear understanding of your business strategy as it evolves with the company’s growth.

Skillful Optimum Rewards specialists help you design a competitive sales compensation plan that delivers a positive return on your investment. Obtain the support you need to experience a motivated sales team who consistently produce better business results.

Outsourcing

Are your company’s compensation programs keeping pace with optimum reward practices, or falling behind? Do you have a Compensation department or individuals with experience in market pricing, executive compensation, and incentive plan design? Do you know how to establish an Optimum Rewards program that makes the connection between individual performance and business results?

If not, consider outsourcing your compensation and performance practices to ensure value for your industry’s best talent. By partnering with OCA, small and mid-size companies gain access to experienced compensation and performance specialists without the high cost of hiring a full-time Compensations Manager.
