Description
This text will cater specifically for the Employee Reward module on the PDS qualification, as well as for Reward modules in a wider HR and business degree market. This text is one of only a few titles specifically focusing on Reward in the market place. 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 and will therefore appeal primarily to postgraduate and more advanced undergraduate students as well as higher level practitioners on the CIPD Reward module. 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. Contents
