What is ATRI?

The ASEAN Total Rewards Institute (ATRI) is Southeast Asia’s world class learning and certification provider dedicated to the total rewards profession. Founded in 2014 by Thomas A. Farmer and Mr. Federico R. Marquez, Jr., ATRI seeks to meet a need among ASEAN’s compensation and benefits practitioners for accessible, global-quality training and certification.

ATRI offers competency-based training, assessment and certification to ensure practitioners possess essential job-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes for effective job performance. All courseware is developed by Mr. Farmer and validated by ATRI’s Industry Advisory Panel, to ensure learning is rooted in the actual competency requirements of reward specialists, professionals and managers in the ASEAN and local country context. In late 2017 / early 2018, a Total Rewards Competency Framework Validation Study was conducted, involving detailed review of over 100 compensation & benefits job descriptions for ASEAN-based rewards positions at the specialist, professional, and senior / regional levels.

ATRI is a division of Freelance Total Rewards Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based consultancy established in 2013 dedicated to advancing more effective total rewards practices in the Asian context. Freelance Total Rewards is owned and managed by Thomas A. Farmer, and consists of a global network of freelance total rewards professionals in Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asian regions.
