across the whole company. It is aware that the way reward is currently being
implemented is fragmented and is causing elements of dissatisfaction amongst
employees which is affecting business as well as employee performance outcomes.
In your role as Reward Advisor, the board has asked you to provide it with a report
that gives it an understanding of the context and approaches to reward and how
these might influence a range of organisational and psychological factors. It also
needs you to clarify the role that people professionals have in supporting line
managers to make reward decisions.
