NML Bonus Structure
NML Bonus Structure
Introduction:
NML recognizes that building a positive company culture is imperative to our long-term success. Due to this, our bonus structure evaluates not only job performance but also rewards employees who contribute to the company culture.
Bonus Structure Overview:
The NML bonus structure is comprised of two main components:
- Meeting expectations: 50%
- Culture Champion: 50%
- Additionally, there is an opportunity for employees to earn an additional 25% bonus for "going the extra mile," which is at the discretion of senior management.
Meeting expectations (50%):
- Meeting the Job description expectations
- Living the NML values
Culture Champion Breakdown (50%):
The "Culture Champion" component is further divided into specific criteria, each contributing a percentage towards the overall 50%. It should be noted that scoring opportunities for being a Culture Champion are all-or-nothing; employees must fulfill the entirety of each criterion to receive the allocated percentage.
- Office Attendance: 20%
- Employees are expected to physically attend the office on a regular basis, as determined by their line manager. Attendance frequency may vary depending on individual circumstances.
- Cameras On: 10%
- Employees are required to have their cameras on during company meetings unless a valid reason, such as networking issues, is provided.
- Team Events Attendance: 10%
- Attendance at team events is mandatory, and employees must achieve 100% attendance to qualify for this portion of the bonus.
- LinkedIn Engagement: 5%
- Employees are encouraged to actively engage with NML content on LinkedIn.
- Recognition & Praize Participation: 5%
- Employees are expected to actively participate in recognizing and rewarding their peers through our Praize tool.
Implementation and Reporting:
- Office attendance will be tracked by senior management.
- Cameras On compliance will be monitored by the senior management during company meetings, with feedback provided by line managers for all scrum ceremonies
- Team event attendance will be managed by Senior Management, with attendance records maintained for all mandatory meetings.
- LinkedIn engagement will be reported on by the marketing team.
