Description

Examines contemporary remuneration and performance management from both applied and theoretical perspectives, emphasising theories, practices and forces associated with the current trend away from traditional fixed, job-based pay to variable, person-based and performance-based remuneration. Topics covered include: HRM and the New Pay, motivation theory, fair pay, job evaluation, pay for skill and competencies, merit pay, recognition awards, performance appraisal vs performance management, broadbanding, team-based pay, gainsharing, employee share ownership, and executive pay. Also examines strategies for achieving an efficient and equitable mix of pay methods appropriate to particular levels of the workforce, from senior executives to non-managerial workers. Case study material is used throughout.
