12. DESIGNING COMPENSATION STRATEGY IN
BANGLADESH
Design of compensation strategy in BD probed into four
dimensions namely –
The perceived importance of strategically designed
compensation for organisational growth.
Importance of giving the right person the right
compensation.
Importance of linkage between compensation and
organisational performance.
Importance of regular review of salary with market
benchmark. 10
13. COMPENSATION PRACTISE IN BANGLADESHI
GARMENTS
In Bangladesh, many garments industry have been following
the same compensation practices since long.
Since the per capita income is not very high, industry do not
risk experimenting with the earning of individuals.
Garments industry should consider a strategically designed
compensation is critical for success.
Though Garments industry have attached importance to a well
designed compensation system, employee turnover is still
high in these sectors.
In Bangladesh there were very low in comparison to
competing nations.

14. COMPENSATION PRACTISE IN BD GARMENTS
Compensation has been researched from different
perspectives at home and abroad. most of the garments
industry (87.5%) paid one or more types of allowances in
addition to salary. we found that nearly 7% enterprises
paid festival bonus, 20% paid medical allowance, and
20% provided pay increment.

15. COMPENSATION AND ORGANISATIONAL
PERFORMANCE
Individual performance contribute to the organisational
performance.
Individual performance may not results in organisational
profitability because of various reasons.
Considering organisational performance and individual
performance to determine compensation strategy is important.
Majority of the Bangladeshi organisations determine
individual performance as a parameter for deciding salary
increments.
This is not as per leading practices worldwide.
Majority organisations practice increment policy – which is a
promise of continual payment for a performance in one
particular year.
Performance should be linked more to variable pay and
bonuses. 13
16. CONCLUSION
Compensation as a tool to drive performance culture and
success of organisations will become more prominent in
future.
Given the relatively lower per-capita income of
Bangladesh, uncertainty of earnings may backfire at
junior levels.
Inflation, cost of living, individual performance are the
key determinants for annual increments.
Compensation system should be introduced carefully and
with utmost sensitivity.
