The compensation
question
bruce power's in-house department is evaluated on
a range of factors that consider the organization's
corporate goals and values.

prove their worth and are compensated by logging
billable hours and solving client problems. Rarely are

what "behaviour" they demonstrated in getting the
win for a client. When they go in-house the docketing
of hours falls away for the most part and other factors
come into play.
