TOTAL REWARD STATEMENTS

Sainsbury’s launches total reward statements

Sainsbury’s Supermarkets has introduced personalised total reward statements for every permanent employee with at least six months’ service, around 135,000 people in total.

To communicate effectively with all employees, Sainsbury’s needed a mechanism which could:

• take multiple data sources from numerous internal and external systems

• mine and consolidate the information for different colleagues and groups
  

• present messages and benefits dynamically for each colleague.

Sainsbury’s reward team began reviewing their processes and developed a database to consolidate data from their internal systems: Oracle HR, payroll, shares, pensions, discount systems and various other sources. They then teamed up with Prolog Print Media to develop the methodology and techniques for printing dynamic total reward statements to suit Sainsbury’s needs.

What’s covered?

• Every colleague is able to see a summary of their own pay broken down into meaningful elements such as annual salary, overtime and bonus earned that year.
  
• This is followed by details of other benefits with a monetary value such as private healthcare, and the amount saved using their colleague discount card.
  
• Further information points are also given so colleagues can access more details or ask questions.
  

Segmenting the data

By segmenting the data, Prolog Print Media is able to produce personalised statements for senior managers, showing subscribed benefits such as pension and voluntary share plans, as well as bonus and long-term incentive share schemes. Store and depot colleagues see other rewards: such as bonus scheme details, and information on how to join cycle-to-work and childcare voucher schemes.

A final word

“Today, Prolog Print Media profile and print dynamic unique total reward statements for each permanent employee of Sainsbury’s. Using the data Sainsbury’s capture and consolidate, we segment mailings by directors, managers, logistics and store colleagues. Segmentation ensures the content of each TRS reflects the type of rewards available to different colleague groups. Each TRS carries a personal message from Justin King, Sainsbury’s chief executive, which has a common theme for all, but with tone and context adjusted to the different audiences to improve engagement.” - Prolog Print Media.
