Rewards and Recognition

The ability of a company to achieve its strategic goals for growth depends on recruiting and retaining the right employees – and this means paying close attention to how they are rewarded and the benefits they receive.




For real improvement, it is necessary to look at the total reward process which incorporates pay structures, employee benefits, performance management, financial and non-financial rewards, employee development and job evaluation. A total reward strategy provides an integrated approach to reward management – in which the different elements are mutually support and together lead to improved performance.




This practical workshop will lead you through an 8-step audit approach to ensure that your company can attract, retain and motivate the quality of people it needs to achieve its business goals. It also demonstrates how an effective total reward strategy can support and encourage organisational and cultural change.
