Which of the following modifications to an employee compensation program would most likely improve retention of top talent in a highly competitive industry?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

HRPA Total Rewards guidance distinguishes base pay as the foundation of market competitiveness and retention. In highly competitive talent markets, increasing base salary most directly addresses external offers and reduces flight risk for top performers. Variable bonuses (A) may motivate but are uncertain; flexible benefits (B) and education assistance (C) enhance overall value but typically have weaker immediate retention effects compared with ensuring base pay is competitive with the market.

Higher base salaries seem like a straightforward solution, but I feel like there might be more to it than just the numbers.

I think flexible benefits could be a game changer. We practiced a question similar to this, and customization seemed to resonate with employees.

I remember discussing how pay-for-performance can motivate employees, but I'm not sure if it really helps with retention in the long run.
