Scenario

Eco-Insulate UK is a medium sized private sector organisation that manufactures eco-friendly thermal insulation in the UK. The Managing Director (MD), who started the company in the mid1970s has set up a meeting with you to discuss concerns regarding increased turnover of skilled and non-skilled employees.

During the meeting you are made aware that there is no incentive scheme in operation and there is an expected level of performance broadly related to the notion of measured day work. Standard times exist and are maintained by the Finance and Administration Department.

cMost employees receive 28 days paid holidays per year. All employees are included in the noncontributory pension scheme however, it’s generally known that special schemes operate for senior staff only.

The MD is aware that the overall culture and performance of the company is quite negative and that it’s time to look at offering forms of reward incentives, benefits and recognition to stimulate positive change.

In your capacity as a reward specialist practitioner, he asks you to put together a report for the senior management team that will give them knowledge and understanding of the principles and components of reward and pay, including how these might influence organisational, psychological and cultural factors. In addition, he would also like them to gain an understanding of job evaluation and market rates.

Report

To complete the report, you should include written responses to each of the 10 points below, making appropriate use of academic literature, legislation, surveys, data intelligence, research and good practical examples to substantiate your response and illustrate key points. Please ensure that you use reputable sources as indicated on the unit reading list and that all cited sources are correctly acknowledged and presented in full in a bibliography at the end of your report.
