Strategic reward is the process of deciding what route to take in developing appropriate reward arrangements and dealing with the issues which arise in making that journey. Armstrong and Brown hold great faith in strategic reward and present here their 'new realism' philosophy and breadth of experience on the subject. They examine the essence and context of strategic reward and the processes involved in developing and implementing strategies, along with a clear overview of the opportunities and risks of pursuing a reward strategy, demonstrating how critical it is to the dual agenda of successful organizational performance and the motivation and engagement of staff.
