Strategic Reward: Implementing More Effective Reward Management

Strategic Reward: Implementing More Effective Reward Management

by Michael Armstrong (Author), Duncan Brown (Author)

Synopsis

Strategic reward is the process of deciding what route to take in developing appropriate reward arrangements and dealing with the issues which arise in making that journey. Armstrong and Brown hold great faith in strategic reward and present here their 'new realism' philosophy on the subject. They base this new work on their twenty years' experience of advising on reward strategies. It examines the essence and context of strategic reward and considers the processes involved in developing and implementing reward strategies. It includes an overview of the risks and the opportunities in pursuing a reward strategy and demonstrates how critical it is to the dual agenda of successful organizational performance and the motivation and engagement of staff.

Media Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I like the authors' approach to strategic reward with its emphasis on process and delivery. Each section has a host of relevant organizational examples plus the latest research. I particularly liked the section on the reward for knowledge workers. This book will certainly influence reward thinking and practice and is an essential read for anyone working in the field. Bruce Thompson, Senior Lecturer in Reward, Middlesex University Business School and former Reward Manager, BP Oil UK Strategic Reward is a book for all reward practitioners who want to raise their game. This is a thoughtful and stimulating book; it is also remarkably clear and accessible for those who want to learn about what reward really means and move beyond traditional transactional thinking. Helen Murlis, Director, Hay Group A particularly useful book for those interested in reward, or thinking about developing a reward strategy, which proposes a way of thinking that is strategic in nature but highly practical in its application. Tim Fevyer, Compensation & Benefits, Lloyds TSB Armstrong and Brown fulfill the promise of the book's title. Benefits and Compensation International
