All Your Reward Policies In One Digital Place
In most organisations, reward policies live in too many places at once. PDFs on shared drives. Local spreadsheets. Old policy documents. Individual experts who “just know how it works.”
That might work when you are small. At scale, it creates risk, delay and confusion.
When you need to answer a simple question, such as
“What should we offer this role in this country, with this grade and this pension rule?”
you should not have to email three people and go hunting for a document.
The Digital Reward Inventory in uFlexReward solves this problem. It turns every policy, rule and eligibility condition into a single, structured, digital source of truth that the whole organization can use.
What Is the Digital Reward Inventory?
The Digital Reward Inventory is the central rules engine of uFlexReward.
It:
- Stores every reward program and policy in one place
- Creates a consistent global taxonomy for rewards across countries and grades
- Digitizes the rules that sit behind each policy, such as eligibility, percentages, thresholds and grade based logic
Instead of reward logic being “in people’s heads” or buried in documents, the platform holds it as live, usable data.
From Static Policy To Live, Usable Logic
Today, in many companies, this is still the reality:
- To answer a question about a package, you contact a local reward expert
- They open one or more PDFs or spreadsheets
- They manually apply rules to calculate what should apply
It is slow, dependent on individuals and very hard to scale, especially for global organizations.
With the Digital Reward Inventory:
- All policies are captured once, with clear, structured rules
- The system can automatically build packages, statements and models from those rules
- Everyone who needs access works from the same version of the truth
This is why Stuart, our Head of Product & Innovation, described it as “the heartbeat of the system.” Everything else in the platform runs from this foundation.
Why It Matters
For leaders and reward teams, the Digital Reward Inventory:
- Saves time: No more manual interpretation of policy for every query
- Reduces risk: Less reliance on individuals and fewer opportunities for errors or inconsistencies
- Improves decisions: Clear, consistent rules allow faster and more confident choices on pay and benefits
- Supports compliance: You can much more easily produce the data required for pay transparency, range disclosure and audit evidence
For example, under pay transparency rules, recruiters need to provide salary ranges early in the hiring process or in job adverts. With a digital inventory in place, they can simply input role, country and grade, and the system will return the correct range based on policy. No manual chasing required.
How It Works In Practice
Implementation usually follows a clear pattern:
- Collect
All existing reward policies are gathered from documents, spreadsheets and internal experts.
- Classify
Policies are organized into a global structure, so rewards can be grouped, compared and reported consistently across markets.
- Digitize Rules are converted into data. For example:
- Grade X receives pension contribution of Y percent
- Employees in country A receive benefit B from level C and above
- Specific groups receive specific allowances
- Activate Once rules are in the system, they drive other applications, such as:
- Total Reward Statements
- Offer and package modelers
- Pay transparency ranges
- Reporting and analytics
After go live, reward managers maintain and update rules directly in the platform rather than editing documents or spreadsheets.
What Makes It Different
Compared to traditional ways of managing reward policy, such as Excel or static documents, the Digital Reward Inventory:
- Democratizes access to data
- Policy is no longer locked in local files or personal knowledge. Global and local teams work in the same environment with clear ownership and visibility.
- Connects everyone to the same logic
- Pension experts, benefit specialists and global reward teams all contribute in one place, which keeps data accurate and up to date.
- Enables all other digital reward capabilities
- Because the rules are digitized, the platform can automatically power statements, modelling, compliance reporting and more, without rebuilding logic each time.
Clients often describe this feature as “game changing” because there is very little like it in the market today. It is not just a database. It is the backbone that turns policy into a living, operational asset.
Business Value At A Glance
- Save time across reward, HR and recruitment by removing repeated manual interpretation
- Reduce risk by centralizing policy logic and creating a full audit trail
- Support compliance by making it easier to produce the data needed for pay transparency and reporting
- Enable agility by allowing rapid changes to policy that instantly flow into packages, offers and reports
