Reward Management

"This book is hands-down one of the leading sources of insight and best practice on Reward and related issues that a Human Resource professional at any stage of their experience can turn to. Michael is an accomplished and remarkably progressive thinker across the spectrum of Total Reward and it is of immense benefit to the sector that he continues to share his experience and knowledge with us." * Craig Truter, Head of Total Rewards, LumiraDx *
"Michael Rose has written a must-read guide for any reward professional that wants to take the step up to strategic management. I particularly enjoyed the case studies at the end of each chapter, as they bring the content to life in a vivid and inspirational way, and help the reader visualise how they can put into practice the key ideas discussed in the book." * John Lionis, Regional Head of Reward, Chanel *
"As a Generalist HR practitioner, I found Michael's book to be very comprehensive and easy to apply. The questions within each section were very useful to stimulate thought around the varying considerations of reward, without compromising on detail and clarity. Before using the book, my knowledge of reward was limited to functional detail, without clear understanding of the why the various components matter. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a comprehensive whistle-stop tour of reward." * Sharron Harvey, EVP, Head of HR, Gatehouse Bank *
"An invaluable introduction to the world of total reward management which provides a clear and pragmatic balance between theory and practice. Michael sets out a solid, thoughtful and personal view which avoids jargon and which should be embraced as an invaluable reference point for anyone starting out on their career as a total reward professional." * Richard Hortop, Vice President, International Total Reward, Comcast *
"Michael's practical experience and bent make him an excellent guide for you through shifting plans and practices, with an engaging and highly readable writing style. But he is also skilled and interested in 'how they all fit together' and provides clear, concise summaries of the major strategic concepts and theories which should underpin all reward applications. I particularly recommend him to the students on the CIPD and WorldatWork programmes that I teach on. But like many experienced reward consultants, I regularly dip into the contents myself!" * Dr Duncan Brown, Visiting Professor University of Greenwich, Principal Associate, IES *
"Michael has applied his deep and wide experience in our profession to produce a must for academics, consultants and practitioners who really want to understand the foundation stones of modern reward principles." * John Beadle, Global Head of Performance and Reward, ABB *
"How people are rewarded is the subject of increased internal and external scrutiny. Michael's book will help reward and HR professionals deal with such scrutiny with confidence, such as showing that pay systems are fair, that they support business needs, and deliver a return on the money spent. As well as the technical side, the book also helps the reader with such practical issues as how to communicate reward or how to plan the annual pay review." * Charles Cotton, Senior adviser for reward and performance, CIPD *
