Merger prompts new approach to reward at Norwich Union Insurance
When Norwich Union Insurance merged with CGU, it was faced with a stark choice: whether to harmonise or to opt for a completely new reward approach. Not wanting to keep employees in suspense while it went through a protracted harmonisation process, it initially confirmed staff on legacy terms and conditions.
The insurer then embarked on a radical redesign of its pay structure, moving towards total reward. Pay matrices were scrapped and a structure - replete with two broad bands, seven generic occupational groups and 19 career families - was adopted. Every aspect of this new structure, including the fact that pay ranges have no maximums, is intended to reward high performers.
