Money and packages
We know motivation is not (just) about money but feeling secure (salary, pension and health packages) are one of the building blocks for motivation. Our compensation and packages are aligned with the market. There is something you won’t find in our offers: bonuses. For a couple of good reasons, from our point of view.
First, when starting an Agile journey with clients, we often find them stuck into the individual vs team performances and bonuses. We think that rewarding an individual often can put a team in jeopardy. Our experience is that incentives should be wider than salary and packages and should be linked to individual motivations and needs. When talking about money, we negotiate a fair amount of it, fixed, independent from bonuses or company performances or other classical metrics (allocation percentage, as an example). You tell us what you need, if we can afford you negotiation is over. If you happen to need more… we talk again.
Second, bonus are alway somehow discretionary and poorly related to a supposed personal performance. You need a line manager that says you deserve it (with the nearly impossible, and time consuming, effort to find a way to measure in a objective way). Plus, you usually need to accept the gaussian curve on compensations. We have often seen that people get a bonus and are unhappy for a multitude of reasons.
We don’t have, and never will, line managers that have a say on your performance. Instead, you’ll get feedback, room and options to improve.

Supervision and shadowing
Whether you are an experienced coach or the new kid on the block, you’ll always need feedback.

- Preparation, and designing of stances, is often done with a peer
- We’ll help you to take the maximum out of feedback by challenging you to improve (yeah, by coaching you)
- Pair coaching: get another reloader with you as buddy coach
Monthly sharing and the guild system
- Each reloader attends, at least, a monthly sharing session with peers with the aim to give or receive advice on specific topics with the client
- We have experimented and rolled out the guild system: quarterly internal self selected assignments to work on topic of interests. Aim is to have some time with peers to deep dive on specific topics and create something valuable for Agile Reloader or the community. Some examples of guild topics are: what is a feedback and how to start a feedback system, exploration and creation of a role play on process communication model, low code platforms and many others
