Reward and performance
Heads of Reward face a continuous challenge of being creative with the available budgets they have. But how do they balance tighter budget with retaining their top talent?
Overview
Our annual Executive and Management Reward Survey brings together salary, incentive and benefits details from FTSE listed and equivalent size private companies. Our survey provides a picture of current market reward practice, trends and reward issues facing the wider management population.
What are the key challenges?
- Shifting productivity and changing behaviours through reward and performance to gain competitive advantage.
- Recruitment and retention of key skills in the face of a tightening labour market and potential future restrictions on overseas recruitment.
- Motivating and incentivising employees in an environment of budget constraint.
- The ‘fairness debate’ has created some key challenges that Reward practitioners will focus on in 2018, such as the publication of gender pay ratios and narratives around the findings.

Your company’s reward overview. On a page.
One of our goals as a firm is to solve important problems for our clients. In some situations, the best way of doing this is by taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture.
That is the reason why, in addition to releasing our wider Reward survey findings, we offer a complimentary service of gathering, segmenting and analysing its reward and remuneration data to provide a bespoke overview of what’s working and what isn’t, as well as an opportunity to spot trends across your organisation which can aid you and your organisation’s data-driven decision making. All information provided is contributed to our wider industry survey anonymously.
Non-Executive Director survey
In addition to our Executive and Management Reward survey, we also produce two Non-executive director (NED) surveys. Our NED surveys provides a comprehensive picture of the NED market practice and how NEDs are rewarded for their roles.
