Case Study: Major Tobacco Corporation achieves faster, more agile compensation planning with PeopleFluent

Major Tobacco Corporation Fast-Tracks Workforce Compensation Planning Process With PeopleFluent

A US-based tobacco corporation with more than 7,000 employees needed to push discretionary compensation decisions down to front-line managers but was constrained by a prescriptive HRIS and a manual spreadsheet workaround used in a 400-employee pilot. Seeking a quick, scalable solution, the company selected PeopleFluent—already used for org charting and familiar to the compensation lead—to support the upcoming compensation cycle.

PeopleFluent Compensation was implemented rapidly and configured to manage both executive and broad-based pay planning, eliminating spreadsheets and automating the company’s complex three-year LTIP. The new tool reduced IT involvement (tasks that once took two–three months can now be handled by the compensation team), increased manager adoption and workflow ownership, and gave employees clearer visibility into pay and incentives.
