Saba® Compensation
Pay-for-performance is just not enough. While performance reviews are one critical input to compensation decisions, many organizations have found their pay-for-performance initiatives not as successful as hoped due to challenges incenting the right behavior, limitations in the information available to decision makers and a lack of insight into long term workforce needs and plans.
Saba Compensation, a key component of successful people management solution, ties compensation and rewards directly to measures of success, enabling the organization to incent the specific behavior and achievements necessary to reach organizational goals. These measures of success support pay-for-performance initiatives by including performance metrics such as review scores or goal completion. However, Saba Compensation also provides access to a number of additional talent and development metrics that can help better inform decision making and achieve long-term organizational goals. These metrics can include:
- Competency proficiency
- Potential rating
- Flight risk
- Readiness for next position
- Process compliance
- Completion of development/learning (both internal training and external education or certification)
- Trend information on performance, potential and other key metrics to predict future contribution

Career & Competency Management Capabilities
Effective career development and talent planning cannot be done in a vacuum; it requires an understanding of the key skills and competencies your workforce possesses. The Saba Foundation provides a unified platform to deliver key people management capabilities—such as competency management, career management, development planning and job and role definition—across Saba Learning Suite, Saba Performance Suite, Saba Talent Suite and Saba Compensation Suite.
These capabilities provide a common currency to discuss and measure talent consistently.
