Our aim is simple. We want to help business leaders achieve their growth ambitions. And we think pay strategies that attract top talent and drive high employee performance accelerate their ability to accomplish that. So...we help company leaders create high-impact rewards plans that become engines of growth for their businesses.
VisionLink's vision has always been to help enterprise leaders build compensation plans that are tied to value creation and drive improved performance. In 1996, we were a team of compensation, executive benefit, financial planning and human resource specialists who had already been consulting with businesses across the country on a variety of financial and human capital issues. Through our interaction with company leaders in a wide range of industries, we discovered that virtually all of them were having a negative experience trying to develop an effective rewards strategy. They couldn't determine what they were getting for the enormous amount of money they were paying their people. As a result, we launched VisionLink with the intent of solving that problem. Since that time, we have grown a pay design company that has helped hundreds of businesses create compensation offerings that are compelling to employees and drive a real return for shareholders. Because of the value we deliver, we have become the preeminent provider of rewards development services for high-growth private companies throughout the United States.
We believe business success has a far-reaching impact. It improves the economic condition of individuals, families, communities and even nations. It also creates personal and professional development opportunities that enable people to make a meaningful contribution to purposes they believe in. As a result, we are pro-growth and pro-success when it comes to serving the interests of business leaders.
We have learned that sustained business growth is more likely to occur when all stakeholders of a company participate in the wealth multiple they help create. Therefore, our focus is on transforming the way businesses share value with their employees, so they become true growth partners committed to the company’s success.
If we succeed in our aim, more and more businesses are empowered to succeed in theirs. Therefore, our work helps individuals and institutions fulfill the important purposes they exist to serve and the problems they are striving to solve that will improve all of our lives.
