Employee Incentives 2026: HR Strategy, Risk & Pay Law

Employee incentives sit at the intersection of motivation, money, fairness and risk. For HR teams and business owners, they are rarely just about “rewarding good performance”. Incentives influence behaviour, shape workplace culture, affect employee retention and can quietly create legal and cost exposure if they are not designed and controlled properly.

In practice, incentive schemes tend to evolve informally. What starts as a tactical response to a retention problem, a growth target or a recruitment challenge can quickly become embedded into expectations, budgets and employee relations. Over time, incentives that were never intended to be permanent, contractual or universal can become exactly that in the eyes of the workforce.

This makes employee incentives a strategic HR issue rather than a discretionary add-on. Decisions about who is incentivised, how incentives are measured, when they are paid and how they can be changed all carry people risk, legal implications and operational consequences. Tribunals tend to focus on how an incentive operates in reality, not just how it is labelled, so consistent practice and messaging matter as much as paperwork under UK employment law.

What this article is about

This article examines employee incentives from a senior HR and employer perspective. It focuses on how incentives work in real organisations, how they interact with UK employment law and tax rules, and how HR teams can make defensible, practical decisions that balance motivation with control.

Rather than listing incentive ideas or benefits, the article explores how incentives shape behaviour, where schemes commonly fail, and how employers can design and manage incentives in a way that supports workforce strategy without creating unintended obligations or disputes. The emphasis throughout is on practical decision-making, governance and risk awareness for experienced HR professionals and business owners, including how incentives sit within the wider employee value proposition.

Section A: What do employers actually mean by “employee incentives”?

Employee incentives are often discussed as if their meaning is self-evident. In practice, one of the most common sources of confusion, disagreement and risk is that different stakeholders within the same organisation mean different things when they use the term.

For HR teams, incentives may be seen as a flexible tool to encourage specific behaviours or outcomes. For finance, they may be viewed primarily as a variable cost. For managers, they are often a motivational lever. For employees, incentives can quickly be perceived as part of expected reward rather than a discretionary extra.

Understanding what an organisation means by “employee incentives” is the first step in designing schemes that are coherent, sustainable and defensible.

1. How incentives differ from pay, benefits and recognition

Employee incentives are distinct from basic pay. Pay is remuneration for work done under the employment contract. Incentives, by contrast, are typically positioned as additional rewards linked to performance, behaviour, contribution or outcomes.

They also differ from benefits, which tend to be offered consistently across groups and are often framed as part of the overall reward package rather than contingent on performance. Recognition schemes, meanwhile, are usually symbolic or informal and are not expected to have ongoing financial value.

The difficulty arises when incentives blur into these other categories. A “discretionary bonus” paid consistently year after year, or an incentive offered to the same group without variation, can begin to look and feel like contractual pay. This is often where disputes and legal challenges originate, particularly where communication and practice create mutual expectation.

2. Financial and non-financial incentives in real workplaces

Incentives can be financial, such as bonuses, commission, profit share or one-off payments. They can also be non-financial, including additional leave, development opportunities, enhanced flexibility or public recognition.

From an HR perspective, the distinction matters less than the impact. Financial incentives carry tax, payroll and equal pay considerations. Non-financial incentives can still create fairness issues, expectations and cultural consequences, particularly if access is uneven or poorly explained.

Many organisations underestimate the weight employees attach to non-financial incentives, especially where these affect work-life balance or career progression. Conversely, some overestimate the motivational power of cash incentives where underlying management or workload issues remain unresolved.

3. Short-term motivators versus long-term behavioural tools

Some incentives are designed to drive short-term outcomes, such as hitting a sales target, completing a project or navigating a period of change. Others are intended to reinforce long-term behaviours, such as collaboration, retention or leadership capability.

Problems arise when short-term incentives are allowed to run indefinitely or when long-term incentives are applied inconsistently. HR teams frequently inherit incentive schemes that no longer match the organisation’s strategy but are difficult to withdraw without employee backlash.

A key operational question for HR is whether an incentive is genuinely time-limited and outcome-specific, or whether it has effectively become part of the reward landscape.

4. Why poorly defined incentives create confusion and conflict

When incentives are not clearly defined, employees fill the gaps with their own assumptions. This can lead to disputes about eligibility, entitlement and fairness, even where the employer believes discretion has been retained.

Poor definition also makes incentives difficult to manage at scale. Line managers may apply criteria inconsistently, finance may struggle to forecast costs, and HR may find itself mediating conflicts that stem from ambiguity rather than misconduct or poor performance.

Clear definition does not remove all risk, but it significantly reduces the likelihood that incentives will drift into unintended contractual or cultural territory, including risk associated with custom and practice arguments.

Section A summary

Employee incentives are not a single category of reward. They encompass a wide range of financial and non-financial mechanisms that can easily overlap with pay, benefits and recognition if they are not clearly framed.

For HR teams, the critical task is to define what an incentive is, what it is intended to achieve and how it differs from core reward. Without this clarity, incentives are likely to generate confusion, entitlement and risk rather than motivation and alignment.

Section B: Why do employee incentives fail or backfire?

Employee incentives are often introduced with good intentions: to motivate performance, retain talent or reinforce strategic priorities. In practice, many incentive schemes fail to deliver their intended outcomes and instead generate disengagement, resentment or operational risk.

From an HR perspective, these failures are rarely about the concept of incentives themselves. They arise because incentives are treated as simple levers rather than complex interventions that interact with behaviour, culture, management capability and legal boundaries.

Understanding why incentives backfire is critical to designing schemes that genuinely support organisational goals.

1. Misalignment between incentives and business outcomes

One of the most common reasons incentives fail is misalignment. Incentives are frequently designed around what is easy to measure rather than what truly matters to the organisation.

For example, sales incentives may reward volume rather than quality, leading to increased complaints or compliance breaches. Productivity incentives may encourage speed at the expense of safety or collaboration. In professional services environments, individual incentives can undermine teamwork and knowledge sharing.

When incentives reward outcomes that conflict with broader organisational objectives, employees rationally optimise their behaviour around the incentive rather than the business. HR teams are then left managing the downstream consequences.

2. Perceived unfairness and internal equity issues

Even well-designed incentives can fail if they are perceived as unfair. Employees are highly sensitive to differences in reward, particularly where criteria are unclear or outcomes appear subjective.

Perceptions of unfairness often arise when:

• incentives are available only to certain roles without clear rationale
• performance measures are applied inconsistently
• outcomes appear influenced by favouritism or manager discretion

Once trust in an incentive scheme erodes, it can damage morale well beyond the group directly affected. HR then faces increased grievances, disengagement and attrition risk.

3. Incentives that reward the wrong behaviours

Incentives shape behaviour, but not always in the way employers intend. When schemes focus narrowly on targets or outputs, employees may prioritise those metrics to the exclusion of wider responsibilities.

This can lead to:

• corner-cutting or rule-bending
• reduced collaboration
• short-term thinking
• ethical or conduct risks

From a governance perspective, incentives that unintentionally encourage harmful behaviours expose employers to reputational and regulatory risk, not just employee relations issues.

4. Cultural damage caused by poorly designed schemes

Incentives do not operate in a vacuum. They send signals about what the organisation values. Poorly designed schemes can undermine culture by promoting competition over cooperation, individual gain over collective success or results over integrity.

In organisations that emphasise values, wellbeing or inclusion, misaligned incentives can create a credibility gap between stated principles and lived experience. HR teams are often tasked with repairing this gap after the damage has been done.

5. Incentive fatigue and diminishing returns

Another common pitfall is incentive fatigue. Over time, incentives that were once motivating can become expected. Employees recalibrate their baseline expectations, and the incentive loses its impact without delivering sustained behavioural change.

This can lead to escalating costs as employers feel pressured to increase incentive value to achieve the same effect. HR and finance then face difficult conversations about sustainability and withdrawal, often in a context where employee resistance is already high.

Section B summary

Employee incentives fail not because incentives are inherently flawed, but because they are often introduced without sufficient attention to alignment, fairness, behavioural impact and cultural context.

For HR teams, the key lesson is that incentives must be designed as part of a broader people and risk strategy. Without this, incentives are likely to create new problems rather than solve existing ones.

Section C: What legal and compliance issues do HR teams need to consider?

Employee incentives sit closer to the legal boundary than many employers realise. While incentives are often framed as discretionary or informal, they can quickly acquire legal significance through how they are communicated, applied and repeated over time.

For HR teams, the legal risk around incentives is rarely about deliberate non-compliance. It usually arises because operational decisions are made without fully appreciating how employment law treats expectation, consistency and fairness. Tribunals will often look beyond labels and ask whether, in practice, there is mutual expectation and consistency that point to an implied term, including through custom and practice.

1. When incentives become contractual entitlements

One of the most significant legal risks is that incentives unintentionally become contractual. This can happen even where documentation states that an incentive is discretionary.

In UK employment law, tribunals look at reality over labels. If an incentive is paid regularly, calculated in a predictable way and expected by employees, it may be treated as an implied contractual term. Once this happens, withdrawing or reducing the incentive can expose the employer to claims for unlawful deduction from wages or breach of contract.

HR teams often encounter this risk where:

• bonuses are paid annually without variation
• incentive criteria are not genuinely discretionary
• communications imply entitlement rather than possibility

The longer an incentive runs without review, the greater the risk that it becomes legally embedded.

2. Discrimination and equal pay considerations

Incentive schemes can create discrimination risk if they disadvantage particular groups, even unintentionally. Criteria linked to availability, hours worked or subjective assessments can disproportionately affect employees with protected characteristics and may trigger indirect discrimination risk where adverse impact arises without objective justification.

For example, incentives based on long hours or presenteeism may disadvantage those with caring responsibilities. Performance-related incentives relying heavily on manager discretion may expose unconscious bias. Where incentives form part of overall pay, they can also feature in equal pay comparisons.

From an HR perspective, this means incentive design must be tested not just for fairness in theory, but for impact in practice, including how criteria affect different groups with protected characteristics.

3. Bonus discretion and implied promises

Employers often rely on “discretion” to manage incentive schemes flexibly. However, discretion is not absolute. If an employer sets clear criteria and employees meet them, withholding an incentive without a defensible reason can still lead to challenge.

Problems arise where:

• discretion is exercised inconsistently
• reasons for non-payment are poorly documented
• decisions appear arbitrary or retaliatory

HR teams need to ensure that discretion is real and exercised rationally and in good faith, supported by clear rationale, particularly in contentious situations such as underperformance, sickness absence or exit negotiations.

4. Interaction with holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy pay

Incentives can affect statutory and contractual calculations in ways that are often overlooked. Certain incentives, particularly those linked to performance and paid regularly, may need to be included in holiday pay calculations under UK law.

Similarly, incentives can affect notice pay and redundancy pay if they are considered part of normal remuneration. Failing to account for this can result in underpayment and legal claims.

HR teams must therefore understand how incentive structures interact with broader pay obligations, especially during exits or restructures.

5. Managing incentives alongside performance and dismissal risk

Incentives often sit alongside performance management processes. This creates a risk that incentive decisions become entangled with disciplinary or dismissal decisions.

For example, withholding an incentive due to poor performance without following a fair process can undermine the employer’s position in any subsequent dispute. Incentive decisions made shortly before or after dismissal are particularly likely to be scrutinised.

From a compliance perspective, HR must ensure that incentive decisions are aligned with documented performance management processes and not used as an informal sanction, including ensuring the organisation follows a fair disciplinary process where conduct concerns arise.

Section C summary

Employee incentives create legal and compliance exposure not because they are inherently risky, but because they are often managed informally and allowed to drift.

For HR teams, the key task is to recognise when incentives cross legal thresholds and to manage them with the same discipline applied to pay, performance and contractual change. Treating incentives as “low risk” is one of the most common and costly mistakes employers make.

Section D: How do tax and cost considerations affect incentive design?

Incentives are often discussed in terms of their headline value, but for employers the real cost of an incentive scheme is shaped by tax treatment, payroll implications and predictability over time. For HR teams, this creates a practical tension between designing incentives that feel meaningful to employees and managing cost, compliance and financial control.

Many incentive schemes create friction between HR and finance not because of disagreement over principle, but because the full cost implications are not understood at the design stage.

1. PAYE and National Insurance implications

Most cash-based incentives are subject to PAYE and National Insurance contributions. This can significantly increase the employer’s cost beyond the amount communicated to employees.

From an employee perspective, tax can also dilute the perceived value of an incentive, particularly where expectations are set around gross figures rather than take-home pay. HR teams are often left managing dissatisfaction when incentives feel less rewarding than anticipated.

Clear communication about tax treatment is therefore not just a compliance issue, but a trust issue.

2. Cash versus non-cash incentives

Non-cash incentives are sometimes seen as a way to reduce tax exposure or increase perceived value. In practice, many non-cash incentives still attract tax as benefits in kind.

Items such as vouchers, gifts or accommodation may need to be reported and taxed accordingly. Failure to manage this properly can create unexpected liabilities and undermine confidence in HR’s handling of reward.

HR teams must work closely with finance and payroll to ensure non-cash incentives are compliant and correctly administered.

3. Salary sacrifice and benefit-in-kind considerations

Some incentive structures interact with salary sacrifice arrangements or flexible benefits platforms. While these can offer tax efficiencies in certain circumstances, they also add complexity and administrative burden.

Changes to tax rules can quickly alter the attractiveness of these arrangements, leaving employers with schemes that no longer deliver the intended value. HR teams need to monitor regulatory changes and assess whether incentive structures remain fit for purpose.

4. Budget predictability and cost creep

Incentives that are not tightly governed can lead to cost creep. Schemes that expand gradually, are applied inconsistently or are influenced by managerial discretion can become difficult to forecast and control.

This is particularly problematic in organisations with multiple business units or decentralised management. HR may find itself mediating between managers seeking flexibility and finance teams seeking predictability.

Clear parameters, caps and review mechanisms are essential to maintaining control without undermining credibility.

5. Communicating “net value” to employees

Employees rarely think in terms of employer cost. They assess incentives based on perceived personal value. When there is a gap between what an incentive costs the business and what it delivers to the employee, dissatisfaction can arise.

HR teams play a key role in bridging this gap through transparent communication. Explaining how incentives work, what they are worth in real terms and why certain structures are used can reduce misunderstanding and build trust.

Section D summary

Tax and cost considerations shape the effectiveness of employee incentives as much as motivational theory or cultural fit. Poorly understood tax treatment and uncontrolled cost growth can quickly turn an incentive scheme from an asset into a liability.

For HR teams, designing incentives requires close collaboration with finance and payroll, realistic cost modelling and clear communication with employees about value and expectations.

Section E: How should incentives support workforce strategy and retention?

Incentives are often introduced in response to immediate pressures, such as recruitment difficulties, retention risk or performance gaps. Over time, this reactive approach can lead to a patchwork of schemes that lack coherence and fail to support long-term workforce strategy.

For HR teams, the central question is not whether incentives can influence behaviour, but whether they do so in a way that aligns with the organisation’s people strategy and retention goals.

1. Incentives versus intrinsic motivation

While incentives can influence short-term behaviour, they are a blunt tool for addressing deeper motivational issues. Employees are primarily motivated by meaningful work, good management, development opportunities and a sense of fairness.

When incentives are used to compensate for poor leadership, excessive workload or limited progression, they tend to lose effectiveness quickly. In some cases, they can even crowd out intrinsic motivation, leading employees to focus narrowly on rewarded tasks rather than broader contribution.

HR teams must therefore be realistic about what incentives can and cannot achieve.

2. Generational and role-based differences

The impact of incentives varies significantly across roles, seniority levels and career stages. Early-career employees may value development opportunities and flexibility more than cash rewards. Senior employees may be motivated by autonomy, influence or long-term security.

Applying uniform incentive schemes across diverse populations can dilute impact and create perceptions of unfairness. HR teams need to consider whether incentives are genuinely tailored to workforce needs or simply convenient to administer.

3. Retention risk and timing of rewards

Timing matters. Incentives paid long after performance is delivered often have limited retention impact. Conversely, incentives tied to future service can create a sense of obligation but may also breed resentment if employees feel “locked in”.

Retention-focused incentives, such as retention bonuses or long-term incentive plans, require careful handling. Poorly timed or poorly communicated schemes can accelerate departures rather than prevent them.

HR teams must weigh the behavioural impact of timing against legal and cultural considerations.

4. Linking incentives to development and progression

Incentives that reinforce learning, development and progression tend to support sustainable workforce strategy more effectively than those focused solely on output.

For example, incentives linked to skills acquisition, leadership capability or cross-functional contribution can reinforce long-term organisational resilience. However, these incentives are harder to measure and require more sophisticated management.

HR teams must decide whether they have the capability and appetite to manage these more complex schemes.

5. The limits of incentives in high-pressure environments

In high-pressure or resource-constrained environments, incentives can have unintended consequences. They may encourage overwork, burnout or unhealthy competition, undermining employee wellbeing and increasing absence or turnover.

In such contexts, HR teams must consider whether incentives are addressing the right problem or masking structural issues that require different interventions.

Section E summary

Employee incentives can support workforce strategy and retention, but only when they are aligned with broader people priorities and realistic assumptions about motivation.

For HR teams, the challenge is to use incentives as one tool among many, rather than as a substitute for effective management, development and culture.

Section F: What governance and controls should sit around incentive schemes?

Incentive schemes that lack governance tend to drift. Over time, eligibility expands, criteria soften and discretion becomes inconsistent. What began as a targeted intervention can turn into an unmanaged entitlement with escalating cost and risk.

For HR teams, governance is not about bureaucracy. It is about ensuring incentives remain aligned with business objectives, legally defensible and operationally manageable.

1. Clear eligibility and decision-making frameworks

Effective incentive schemes begin with clear rules on who is eligible, on what basis and under what circumstances. Vague or overly flexible criteria increase the likelihood of inconsistent application and dispute.

Eligibility should be linked explicitly to role, performance or contribution, not left to informal managerial judgement. Where discretion exists, it should be bounded by clear principles and documented rationale.

HR teams play a key role in ensuring that these frameworks are understood and applied consistently across the organisation.

2. Documentation, policies and manager discretion

Many incentive disputes arise because documentation does not reflect reality. Policies may state that incentives are discretionary, while communications and past practice suggest otherwise.

HR must ensure that policies, contracts, plan rules and manager communications are aligned. This includes training managers on how to discuss incentives without creating unintended promises.

Discretion should be exercised carefully and consistently. Where discretion is used to reduce or withhold incentives, the reasons should be recorded and defensible.

3. Review cycles and data-led evaluation

Incentive schemes should be reviewed regularly, not just when problems arise. Reviews should consider:

• whether the scheme still supports business objectives
• cost versus value delivered
• equality and diversity impact
• employee perception and engagement

Data-led evaluation allows HR to identify early warning signs, such as declining engagement or increasing disputes, before they escalate.

4. Handling disputes and challenges

Disputes over incentives are particularly emotive because they touch on reward, recognition and fairness. HR teams must be prepared to manage challenges calmly and consistently.

Clear appeal processes, transparent decision-making and robust records are essential. Where disputes arise, HR should assess whether the issue reflects individual dissatisfaction or a systemic flaw in the scheme.

5. Changing or withdrawing incentive schemes safely

At some point, most incentive schemes need to change or end. This is where poor governance creates the greatest risk.

If incentives have become contractual, withdrawal may require agreement and, in some cases, a formal approach to changing employment contracts. Even where discretion exists, abrupt changes can damage trust and morale.

HR teams must plan changes carefully, communicate clearly and assess legal and employee relations risk before acting.

Section F summary

Governance and controls are what keep incentive schemes effective over time. Without them, incentives are likely to drift into entitlement, inconsistency and risk.

For HR teams, strong governance enables flexibility while protecting the organisation from legal, financial and cultural fallout.

Section G: What do real-world incentive decisions look like in practice?

Incentive design looks neat on paper. In reality, HR teams are dealing with competing pressures, imperfect information and evolving business conditions. The most challenging incentive decisions tend to arise not in steady state, but during periods of change, growth or stress.

This is where incentives expose their true impact on behaviour, culture and risk exposure.

1. Incentives during growth versus downturn

During periods of growth, incentives are often expanded to accelerate hiring, performance or market capture. In these conditions, schemes can proliferate quickly, with limited scrutiny over long-term sustainability.

In downturns, those same incentives become a source of tension. Employers may seek to reduce or suspend schemes, only to find they have become embedded in expectations or contracts. HR teams are then required to manage difficult conversations, legal risk and morale simultaneously.

The lesson in practice is that incentives introduced during good times must be designed with future contraction in mind.

2. Incentives in unionised or regulated environments

In unionised or highly regulated sectors, incentives carry additional complexity. Changes to incentive structures may require consultation, negotiation or alignment with collective agreements.

Incentives that are perceived to undermine collective terms, create internal inequity or bypass agreed processes can trigger disputes and industrial relations risk. HR teams must balance flexibility with the need for transparency and engagement.

In these environments, governance and communication are as important as financial design.

3. Sales incentives and misconduct risk

Sales incentives are among the most common and most problematic schemes. Poorly designed sales incentives can encourage mis-selling, aggressive behaviour or regulatory breaches.

From an HR perspective, the challenge is ensuring that incentives reinforce ethical behaviour and compliance, not just revenue generation. This often requires integrating incentive design with conduct frameworks, training and oversight.

Failures in this area rarely remain confined to HR. They can escalate into reputational and regulatory crises, including in situations where concerns lead to whistleblowing reports.

4. Performance incentives where targets shift

In fast-moving organisations, targets may change mid-cycle due to market conditions, strategy shifts or operational constraints. Incentives linked to outdated targets can quickly lose credibility.

HR teams are often asked to adjust criteria retrospectively, which creates fairness and legal challenges. Employees may feel rules are being changed after the fact, even where the business rationale is sound.

Clear change mechanisms and advance communication are essential to maintaining trust.

5. Remote and hybrid workforce challenges

Remote and hybrid working have altered how incentives are perceived and experienced. Visibility of effort, contribution and performance is less direct, increasing reliance on subjective judgement.

Incentives tied to presence, informal visibility or manager perception can disadvantage remote workers and increase discrimination risk. HR teams must ensure incentive criteria reflect outcomes rather than proximity.

This requires deliberate design rather than simply transplanting legacy schemes into new working models.

Section G summary

Real-world incentive decisions are shaped by context, timing and organisational maturity. Incentives that appear effective in one phase or environment can become problematic in another.

For HR teams, the practical challenge is to design incentives that are robust enough to withstand change, scrutiny and pressure, while remaining credible and motivating for employees.

FAQs

1. Are employee incentives legally binding?

Employee incentives are not automatically legally binding, but they can become so over time. If an incentive is paid regularly, calculated consistently and expected by employees, it may be treated as an implied contractual term regardless of whether it is labelled “discretionary”.

HR teams should assume that repeated practice and consistent communication carry legal weight, particularly where incentives form a meaningful part of overall reward.

2. Can employers change or withdraw incentive schemes?

In principle, employers can change or withdraw incentive schemes, but the risk depends on how the incentive has been structured and applied. If an incentive has become contractual, changes may require employee agreement or consultation, and may need to be handled as a matter of changing employment contracts.

Even where discretion exists, abrupt or poorly communicated changes can damage trust, trigger grievances or increase attrition. HR should always assess legal risk and employee relations impact before acting.

3. Do incentives have to be offered equally to all employees?

No, incentives do not have to be universal. However, differences in eligibility and outcomes must be objectively justifiable and applied consistently.

Where incentives disadvantage employees with protected characteristics, employers may face discrimination or equal pay claims. HR teams should assess both design and impact, not just stated intent.

4. How do incentives affect holiday pay calculations?

Some incentives, particularly those linked to performance and paid regularly, may need to be included in holiday pay calculations under UK law. This is a common area of underpayment risk.

HR teams should review incentive structures alongside payroll and legal advisers to ensure holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy pay are calculated correctly.

5. Are non-financial incentives lower risk than bonuses?

Non-financial incentives can feel safer, but they still carry risk. They can create expectations, fairness issues and, in some cases, tax liabilities.

The key risk factor is not whether an incentive is financial or non-financial, but how consistently it is applied, communicated and perceived by employees.

Conclusion

Employee incentives are a powerful but complex management tool. When designed thoughtfully, they can reinforce strategic priorities, encourage desired behaviours and support retention. When introduced informally or allowed to drift, they can create entitlement, legal exposure and cultural damage.

For HR professionals and business owners, the central challenge is not whether to use incentives, but how to govern them. Incentives must be aligned with business objectives, framed clearly, applied consistently and reviewed regularly. They should support, not substitute for, effective management, development and culture.

UK employment law treats incentives as more than discretionary extras once expectation and consistency take hold. HR teams therefore need to approach incentive design with the same discipline applied to pay structures, performance management and contractual change.

Ultimately, effective incentive schemes are those that remain flexible without becoming arbitrary, motivating without becoming divisive, and rewarding without creating unintended obligations. Achieving that balance is a core HR capability rather than a one-off design exercise.
