SUMMARY:NQHR Club: Developing a reward strategy
DESCRIPTION:Why do employees choose to work for you and what can you do to recruit and retain the best? \nSalaries and benefits are critical in attracting and retaining the people you need\, and by aligning your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to your organisation goals you can demonstrate that you are taking visible action to support its success. Key to this is your reward strategy; having a plan\, aligning it to the future and engaging your people.     \nIn this HR Club\, we’ll introduce you to the key principles of developing a reward strategy that is strategic and ensures your EVP supports your organisation goals. This session will help you identify what to include in your reward strategy\, and the stakeholders you need to engage with to ensure that your strategy delivers what your organisation needs. If your EVP needs an overhaul\, then now is the time to ensure that you are taking a strategic approach to the future. \nWe’ll focus on the key principles you need to develop and also introduce the different types of pay structure and why they do and don’t work in different scenarios. \nJoin Sarah Martin and Jane Baalam from Narrow Quay HR to find out how a reward strategy could support your organisation.
