Successful microfinance institutions are made up of successful individuals, and as Unitus discovered in its 2009\u00a0Compensation Benchmarking<\/em> study, well-designed compensation programs play a significant role in crafting a high-performing staff. As such, Unitus is proud to announce the launch of the second annual\u00a0Unitus-Hewitt Microfinance Compensation & Benefits Survey<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Open to MFIs throughout India, the Survey is a successor to the 2009 Benchmarking study that provided participants with valuable insights into their operations and was identified as a key industry HR initiative in \u201cMicrofinance India: State of the Sector Report 2009.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2009 survey allowed us to add a key layer of understanding about the best practices in rewarding staff to our already strong HR Advisory practice,\u201d said Unitus VP\u00a0 and India Country Director Ganesh Rengaswamy. \u201cIn 2010, we plan to take this initiative to the next level by expanding the assessment and by combining the survey results with our understanding of the microfinance space, the progressive practices of other industries, and an overall technical expertise in the space of compensation and benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study will evaluate MFIs across India on key measures of compensation and benefits, including benchmarking of 25 key positions across eight organizational levels, and study 10 popular non-cash benefits (e.g.\u00a0 loans, insurance, incentives\/bonus, leave, travel policy, ESOPs, Reward & Recognition, etc).\u00a0 Following the survey, participants will receive customized reports, as well as the opportunity to participate in an implementation workshop to discuss results and recommendations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe survey will measure and analyze salary benchmarks from MFIs from all across India, including regional differences in compensation and target market (rural v. urban), as well as insights into the design on non-cash components and variable pay structures,\u201d said Sandeep Chaudhary, Hewitt\u2019s Rewards Consulting Leader for South & West Asia. \u201cWhen coupled with the reporting and implementation program Unitus has designed, we anticipate this being a highly useful engagement for participants,\u201d Chaudhary added.<\/p>\n

The survey is the first initiative of Unitus\u2019s newly launched MFI Industry Compensation & Benefits Forum, an endeavor to bring a better understanding of remuneration issues and practices in microfinance to the industry. Based on the results of this survey and the needs expressed by the participating MFIs this forum will initiate workshops, additional studies, best practice sharing, and focused group discussions on various compensation and benefits issues for the MFI sector throughout the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
