‘How can we create a more equitable, collective, compassionate approach to reward and people management more generally after this crisis?’ – Reward Head, Rewards-after-Covid working group.
‘The situation is leading us to question the fairness of work, break old paradigms. We need to change many aspects of how we work, treat each other. Let's not let a good crisis go to waste . . . Let’s use it to build the world of work we want to see.’ – Peter Cheese, CEO CIPD.
‘Where have all the workers gone?!’ – Hospitality company CEO.
The last two years of the pandemic have seen major changes in all of our personal lives and transformations in every organisation’s operations and management of their people. These changes in ‘this human crisis’ have placed the HR function in a prominent position, with pay and reward management at the centre of corporate agendas and responses.
The pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated pre-existing inequalities resulting from traditional policies and has changed our perspective on everything rewards-wise, from sick pay to executive incentives, and from flexible working to corporate wellbeing programmes.
From the initial welfare and support response to the virtual closure of the economy and protecting our key workers from Covid-19 in the first lockdown, through financial wellbeing and mental health support as the second wave raged. Now as the virus (hopefully) recedes, in addressing the widespread labour shortages that have emerged affecting almost all sectors and occupations and the evolution of hybrid working, reward professionals have been crucial.
So how should employers and heads of reward and HR respond now? What reward strategies will you need moving forward to recruit, retain and engage your people so as to simultaneously meet the needs of your business leaders seeking a rapid recovery; an increasingly demanding, diverse and aware employee and future employee population; and the wider social issues and stakeholders pushed into prominence by the pandemic, and their ‘ESG’ concerns of poverty, insecurity and labour market and supply chain exploitation. To return to pre-2020 reward and employment practices? Or to boldly ‘build back better’?
Led by Dr Duncan Brown and benefitting from the latest CIPD and IES research findings, it is designed to:
Duncan will help you to diagnose and address some of the most challenging and controversial reward questions of the day, key questions which are impossible to ignore as we come out of the worst health crisis in 300 years into the tightest labour market any of us have ever seen:
How do you adapt your reward package to engage and meet the needs of the different generations and groups in our workforce, especially when young people and older workers, women and ethnic minority employees have been especially badly affected, health-wise and financially, by the pandemic?
The reward leaders’ masterclass is highly participative and includes a mix of high-level, confidential discussions and activities and exercises that enable participants to reflect on their current thinking and practice, explore new approaches and plan out their own reward futures.
Participants will review contemporary issues in reward, consider their own and relevant case-study situations and experiences, andbenefit from Duncan’s extensive reward consulting and research experience.
E-reward’s new, intensive masterclass is targeted at senior HR and reward colleagues who are responsible for strategic reward issues:
The masterclass will be led by Dr Duncan Brown, a Senior Associate at the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) and Visiting Professor at University of Greenwich. Duncan is a former employee reward practice leader at Willis Towers Watson, PwC and Aon Hewitt, who spent five years as the Head of Research and Policy at the CIPD. He is a highly regarded consultant and writer on reward management, including jointly authoring with Michael Armstrong the best-selling Handbook of Reward Management Practice and Reward Strategy: Making it happen. His doctorate was in reward strategy.
‘Whether you are preparing to form your reward strategy or need to refresh and realign it, this course is a must that will leave you with plenty to consider and inspire to progress.’
‘Very thought provoking and giving a holistic view on reward practices. An interactive masterclass that I would recommend.’
‘If you are procrastinating on developing a coherent approach to reward because of confusion over the questions to ask/pose, this workshop gives you an excellent platform/impetus to take this important issue forward.’
‘A brilliant way of reflecting on and developing your reward strategy and practice.’
‘Really valuable session bringing together loads of thinking in this critical area and lots to go away and think about and put into action.’
‘If you need to gain a deeper and broader understanding of reward strategies and issues then this course is a must.’
‘Great workshop for reward specialists and those with a strategic reward role.’
HR, reward, compensation and benefits professionals have generally performed amazingly over the past two years, in responding to an unprecedented health and economic crisis in the shape of Covid-19. Their reward is to emerge into the most disrupted economic, political and social situation and the tightest labour market any of us will have ever experienced, a true ‘cost-talent crunch’ and ‘cost-of-living catastrophe’.
But as Duncan Brown will argue on this programme, we need to cut the crisis-responses and get some strategy. We all have agency here, we all have choices. We all will need to have the courage to act – to advocate, to invest, to make this happen, if we are not to let the tough learning from the crisis go to waste, to see the opportunity taken for a ‘new new normal’ to emerge in our reward strategies and policies.
Come learn, discuss and debate with other reward leaders how you can make this happen!
