The Reward Management Toolkit: A Step-by-step Guide to Designing and Delivering Pay and Benefits

Deciding how to effectively reward staff can be one of the most difficult and contentious areas in people management. Getting it right can help promote an engaged workforce, and significantly improve recruitment and retention. But how do you decide what pay range is suitable for which job and how do you design reward packages that recognize and value people according to the contribution they make?

The Reward Management Toolkit provides practical guidance on the steps required to develop and implement reward innovations and to manage key reward practices.

The tools can be used by internal HR or reward specialists or external consultants involved in developing or evaluating reward systems. Importantly, they can play an essential part in the involvement of people in these processes through attitude surveys, focus groups, workshops and project teams.

The tools are also available to download from the Kogan Page website, and they can be adapted for your use.
