Overview

It’s the role of reward specialists and HR professionals to ensure that their organisation’s pay and benefit solutions align with their organisational objectives and are competitive in the wider employment market. To do this they must typically combine a range of pay and benefits into a flexible total reward framework to meet the diverse needs of employees.

People professionals need to be able to understand and confidently articulate the reasoning and implications behind pay setting and performance related pay.
