Keywords Human resource management, Implementation, Rewards
Of all the policy areas within human resource management, reward management is where there exists the greatest contradiction between the promise of theory and the reality of implementation. This is the definitive UK text on the area and has been substantially updated to reflect the latest thinking in this complicated area. The book takes a strategic approach to the subject and addresses that gap between theory and practice, focusing on the implications for practitioners. It demonstrates that reward management is about performance, and examines in some detail then performance management processes and various approaches to paying for performance, skill and competence that can be adopted. Among the new developments covered are :
- •
job family modelling;
- •
broadbanding;
- •
competence-related pay;
- •
team pay.
This book is published in association with Hay Management Consultants, and Helen Murlis brings wide and practical consulting experience to bear on the subject. The book itself manages to pull off the trick of being both comprehensive yet readable.
