Page 32
Points to consider with non-financial reward 1 of 7
Evolution in employment systems is reported as creating the conditions under which what is included in the effort-reward bargain needs to be rethought, especially when managements wish to secure discretionary effort and a sense of identification among employees for whom ‘pay and benefits’ provide only part of the employer’s consideration

Points to consider with non-financial reward 2 of 7
While flexible benefits may go some way to addressing workplace diversity issues, ideas grouped under the logic of ‘total reward’ are promoted by commentators as building blocks for still further customization, with the prospect of achieving a distinctive employment proposition

Points to consider with non-financial reward 3 of 7

Points to consider with non-financial reward 5 of 7
Research findings suggest that senior managers and total rewards policy designers need to pay particular attention to front-line managers if expectations from investment in employee engagement using total rewards are not to be misplaced
Page 37
Points to consider with non-financial reward 6 of 7
Unpacking the total reward portfolio may bring tensions to the surface between the reward elements and their management, which managers need to reflect on carefully and be clear about what may be needed to mitigate/compromise on before committing to strategic decisions that may be deemed unsuitable for the organization, its principals and/or workforce members

The ethical and moral dimensions of ideological initiatives intended to secure voluntary identification between individual employees and the organization need to be understood and acted on in framing policy choice and their detailed application

In bad times, a business strategy must be seen to be fair, so have a two-way conversation with employees to ensure the package appeals to allAs things improve set rewards based on people’s impact on the organization

Be creative and consider non-financial incentives if money is tight, perhaps linked to improving work-life balanceKnow when you should reward your best people financially, however tough business isEnsure the rewards drive future skills and performance so they add value to both the individual and the organization

When trade improves scale-up your benefits to renew the psychological contract you have with your employeesDon’t ignore the need for effective workforce planningAnalyze what the downturn told you about which benefits your employees really appreciated and which do not need to be reintroduced
