Total reward takes off

Faced with the need to cap salary bills in the current economic climate, UK employers are increasingly adopting the concept of total reward to help attract, retain and motivate staff.

Total reward combines the traditional pay and benefits elements of a reward package with the less tangible benefits of employment such as the opportunity to acquire skills and experience and to receive individual recognition, which traditionally have not been measured as a source of competitive advantage.
