Strategic reward is the process of deciding what route to take in developing appropriate compensation arrangements and dealing with the issues that arise in making those decisions. Armstrong and Brown 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.
