Synopsis

<p>Based on the authors' experience, research and benchmarking activities, this definitive book explains that reward management is about performance - of individuals, teams and the whole organization. It examines in detail the processes and various approaches that can be adopted to achieve and reward outstanding skill and competence levels in the workplace.<br><br> Comprehensive and highly practical in its approach, it takes a strategic perspective and addresses the wide gap that exists between theory and practice, with a focus on the implications for practitioners.<br><br> This revised fifth edition includes new and updated chapters on age discrimination, bonus schemes, recognition schemes and pensions.</p>
