At ecap, our mission has always been clear — to build leadership teams and organisational cultures that are aligned, resilient, and future-ready. Today, we are proud to announce the official launch of ecap rewards, a new pillar dedicated to compensation, benefits, and total rewards consulting, led by internationally recognised rewards expert Sandrine Bardot.
With over 30 years of global experience, including two decades in the Middle East, Sandrine is a leader in her field, known for elevating the rewards function to a strategic driver of business success. Her profound technical expertise, combined with a pragmatic, business-focused approach, makes her the ideal partner to spearhead this exciting new chapter for ecap.
Why ecap rewards?
In today’s increasingly competitive landscape, companies need more than off-the-shelf salary surveys or standardised benefits programmes. They require a holistic, tailored approach to total rewards — one that aligns directly with their business strategy, supports employee value propositions, and drives sustainable organisational growth.
This is where ecap rewards stands apart.
Unlike traditional providers who rely on generic models or mass-market data, ecap rewards offers bespoke, strategic advice tailored to each client’s unique needs and market positioning. Our work is focused on impact — not just compliance. We embed strategic thinking into every solution, ensuring your rewards strategy strengthens talent attraction, engagement, and retention.
As Sandrine explains:
“ecap rewards exists to deliver real business value through rewards strategies that are bespoke, aligned, and actionable. We don’t just deliver reports — we deliver clarity, confidence, and competitive advantage.“
A Smarter Approach to Rewards Consultancy

- Deep Market Expertise – Drawing on global best practice combined with Middle Eastern market nuances, we deliver advice that is locally relevant and internationally credible.
- Hands-On, Practical Support – We work as an extension of your team, ensuring solutions are implementable, realistic, and sustainable — not just theoretical.

- Total Rewards Strategy Design
- Compensation Structuring and Benchmarking
- Incentive Scheme Design (Short and Long-Term)

- Executive and Board Remuneration Advisory
- Performance Management Frameworks
