What is Total Rewards?

Everything of value an employer provides to employees, including monetary compensation, benefits, career development, work-life balance, and recognition. It extends beyond pay to cover the full employee experience.

Why it matters in hiring

Total Rewards comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
