Hera salary scales are compared against salary trends and are allocated on an individual basis in line with performance and potential, while bearing in mind employee retention.
The main rewards given within the scope of merit-based policies vary depending on the employee’s role and type of contract and consist of salary increases, one-off bonuses and promotions and, depending on the employee’s role and position within the company, additional pay.
Executives and Managers also receive a variable bonus that is directly related to the Group’s Balanced Scorecard system.
The performance bonus is calculated using the same system for all Group employees, based on an equal amount for all workers, a single system of profitability and productivity indicators and a series of quality indicators that vary according to the business segments. The performance bonus is awarded to all employees, including those on staff-leasing contracts.
The incentive scheme for Group Executives and Managers has been linked to the Balanced Scorecard since 2006.
Variable remuneration is calculated as a percentage of gross annual pay and is determined at the end of the year on the basis of the results achieved in relation to targets set at the beginning of the year.
Each balanced scorecard is divided into three areas:
the first comprises specific project objectives based on the targets in the Group’s business plan set out in operational terms;
the second contains the economic targets as set out in the annual budget;
the third envisages the evaluation of specific organisational behaviour defined in the Group’s Leadership Model.
The structure of each Balanced Scorecard, or rather the weighting of the three areas, varies depending on the employee’s role and position within the company.
The final allocation of the bonus is also determined on the basis of results achieved in certain Group parameters (the company’s financial and economic results and customer satisfaction indicators).
The allocation of targets to Executives and Managers, and assessment of whether these targets have been met, is a well-defined process that combines the decision-making role of Senior Management with the coordination of the Corporate Social Responsibility Department and of the HR teams that oversee and guarantee the consistency of the entire process.

The Hera Group is committed to actions for reconciling work and personal life, especially through the use of part-time and flex-time schedules.
