Interim Specialist Support
NKT
2025
NKT faced a critical resource gap during a key bonus cycle, putting pressure on their People & Culture and Global Rewards teams. The Reward Firm stepped in with timely interim support, placing a specialist who quickly integrated and took ownership of essential reward tasks. This included reworking bonus calculations, supporting salary reviews, and improving documentation. The intervention enabled early completion of the cycle and lasting process improvements. The collaborative approach felt like working with a trusted colleague, earning strong endorsement for future interim reward needs.
Client Statement:
Specialist Support
(January to July 2025)
Context & Challenge at NKT
At NKT, we faced a critical resource gap as we entered the bonus calculation period. This created significant pressure on our People & Culture and Global Rewards team to deliver business-critical results without disruption.
​
The Interim Solution Delivered
The Reward Firm provided interim reward support at exactly the right time. They quickly assessed our needs and placed a reward specialist (Simon) who integrated seamlessly with our team. Simon took ownership of key tasks, including reworking the calculation process, and later contributed to out of cycle salary review, updating job descriptions and some ad hoc pay gap analysis. With his skilled, straightforward, and approachable style, he became part of our daily operations and collaborated closely with the rest of the People & Culture and Global Rewards team.
​​
The Value & Outcomes
Thanks to this support, we completed the bonus cycle ahead of schedule while also documenting and improving the process for future years. Beyond operational delivery, The Reward Firm ensured access to senior expertise and perspective, to back up the specialist resource, to ensure the most seamless support possible, aligning with our expectations and wishes. Their collaborative approach not only solved immediate challenges but also left lasting improvements.
Personal Endorsement
Working with The Reward Firm and Simon, felt like having an experienced colleague by our side rather than an external consultant. Their honest approach, helpful attitude, and commitment to not just deliver but to improve means I would strongly recommend them to any organization needing reliable interim support in reward operations or facing a critical resourcing gap.
