“With beqom, JTI will have a holistic end-to-end solution to manage all rewards elements and activities in one digital space, eliminating the risks with floating papers and spreadsheets, and accessible on all devices,” says Emmanuel Frenck, beqom Head for Southern EMEA. “The solution will support individualized rewards with employee choice and provide the visibility and analysis needed to ensure pay fairness and cost-effective compensation allocation.”

beqom is unique as an HR compensation solution in that it is the only solution that allows all forms of compensation to be managed on a single platform.
