Reward Management: Alternatives, Consequences and Contexts

Review\n"I have been using this authoritative book to teach the MSc HRM programme (CIPD accredited) since the first edition was out. This is not just a must for MSC HRM students, but for HR professionals and general managers as well. With reflections on recent developments, debates and issues in reward management, this new version offers a more real and comprehensive insight to the field." ― Dr Jean (Qi) Wei, Senior Lecturer in HRM, Faculty of Business and Social Sciences, Kingston University, London, UK.\n"Sarah Jones and Stephen Perkins have produced one of the most comprehensive and thorough texts available on reward management. As a research driven, theory-based text rooted in contemporary practice, the book is unusual and distinctive in being of significant value to so many different audiences at the same time: policymakers, practitioners, students and scholars." ― Ian Kessler, Professor of Public Policy and Management at King’s College, University of London, UK.\n"This book presents a systemic framework for those learning about reward management, and in doing so provides a much-needed resource for students and tutors alike. The structures, choices and evidence that inform the design and implementation of reward management systems are explained in a clear and accessible manner. Of particular benefit to students is the clarity with which relevant theoretical frameworks are explored and related to the important themes of rewarding executives and international reward management." ― Dr Steven Wynne, Senior Lecturer, Department of Accounting, Banking and Finance, Business School, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK.\n"By combining a comprehensive overview of background theories with a well-structured and exhaustive discussion of reward practice, this textbook offers the reader a valuable compendium on compensation and benefits both in domestic and international settings. This is a must-have addition to the bookshelves of students, scholars and practitioners alike." ― Prof. Dr. Ihar Sahakiants, Professor für International Human Resource Management, Cologne Business School, Germany.\nReward Management is a comprehensive guide to all elements of reward in the workplace. From the theoretical frameworks and legal context of reward through to practical application in the workplace, this book provides all the essential information for both students of reward management and practitioners involved in reward management in organizations.\nCovering all the key areas of reward management including pay structures and pay setting, job evaluation and employee benefits, Reward Management is a key book for anyone studying the Level 7 CIPD reward management module or a postgraduate qualification in HR. This book also includes guidance on non-financial reward and new coverage of the gender pay gap, executive reward and pay ratio reporting. There is also extensive discussion of international reward including the impact of different cultures on reward, benefits for multi-local talent, rewarding expatriates and why one size of reward doesn't fit all. Accompanying online resources include lecturer manual and lecture slides.
