Description
This textbook is ideal for the new CIPD postgraduate module on Reward Management. It is also suitable for general Reward Management modules.
It seeks to build on the legacy of the Armstrong text but offer a more balanced, comprehensive, student-friendly and analytical approach to the subject area.
This text:
- emphasises the need for HR managers to evaluate the choices in the design and application of reward systems
- challenges existing assumptions about reward policies and practices and provides students with the tools for independent thinking about reward issues
- reflects the growing globalisation of reward concepts and hence concentrates on core principles of reward design
- is located within the most recent UK (and EU) legal changes affecting reward systems and upon the dynamic and changing relationships between the various parties to the employment relationship
- draws upon the latest academic and practitioner research on pay and conditions and is written by two of the most experienced university teachers and researchers in the reward field.
Employee Reward enables students to match the theory they learn with the practical application they need to use in their jobs and includes interactive features such as case studies, student activities and exercises to maximise learning potential.

'I really enjoyed reading Employee Reward. It is comprehensive and takes an academic approach linked to practical material which will be of help to students and tutors. I feel it has managed to achieve a level of detail in a succinct format and I am sure this will be welcomed. A text such as this is long overdue.'

'Employee Reward presents a stimulating and thoughtful approach to the topic and encourages a broader understanding of the issues. A useful innovation is the strong employee relations angle adopted by the authors, which provides a deeper conceptual and academic foundation for the overall topic of employee reward in contrast to some of the alternative texts.'

'I particularly like the use of student exercises, CIPD examination questions and case studies, as these provide practical application of conceptual models and frameworks, and provide a form of ongoing revision for the student.' Marian O'Sullivan
