Single salary structure changed to different salary structures with merit budgets for different job families. Allowed IBM to pay employees in different job families according to market-oriented rates.
Traditional salary grades scrapped in the USA Number of separate job titles cut from 5000 to less than 1200
New compensation system: managers given budget and told to differentiate between stars and acceptable performers on the grounds that otherwise the stars would not stay too long.
