Line managers need more input in reward strategy

The lack of involvement by front-line managers in putting reward policies into practice is a major barrier to successful reward strategy implementation, according to the latest findings from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)¹.

The CIPD's fifth annual reward management survey finds that front-line managers were given significant responsibility for their direct reports' training and development, but virtually no influence over the level of benefits and bonus payments employees receive.
