It requires specific knowledge in a range of specialist areas to be able to create and shape total reward packages. This may include:
Reward specialists will need a deep understanding different approaches to reward and benefits packages, and how to ensure that approaches are in line with relevant legislation, as well as the links to organisation and individual performance. You’ll also need to know practical elements such as how to benchmark salaries and determine pay based on external market factors such as scarce skills.
'Reward is increasingly vocal; it sends clear messages about what organisations value, what they choose to reward, and not reward, and how this reflects the culture and goals. Reward gets to the heart of the matter, including what employees care about, such as being valued and their career progression, as well as the usual pay and benefits. A few clicks away and potential hires and existing employees can share their experience, which is critical when attracting and engaging the best people in a global marketplace.'
