OTTAWA — Shopify Inc. is revamping its staffing and compensation model.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce company says staff will now be split into two career tracks: managers and crafters.
Compensation levels will be equivalent regardless of whether someone chooses to be a manager or a crafter.
Shopify says the model will reward people for the impact they make on the company regardless of whether they are a manager or not.
It adds the model bucks trends that saw companies only succeed at incentivizing and rewarding managers because crafters will now have just as rich a career progression.
Shopify's moves come after it began giving staff a “total rewards wallet” last year that allows them to choose between cash and stock options for their compensation.
