THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

REWARD MANAGEMENT
Reward management is about the development, implementation, maintenance, communication, and evaluation of reward process. These processes deal with the assessment of relative job values, the design and management of pay structures, performance management, paying for performance, competence or skill, the provision of employee benefits and pension, and management of reward procedures.

OBJECTIVES OF REWARD MANAGEMENT


Reward people according to what the organization values and want to pay for. Reward people for the value they create for their organization. Reward the right behaviors and actions of the employees in order to reinforce appropriate behaviors and outcomes. Foster and maintain a high performance work culture. Motivate employees in order to obtain their commitment and engagement. Attract and retain talents the organization needs. Emphasize the right mix of financial and non-financial rewards. Develop a positive employment relation and psychological contact.

COMPONENTS OF REWARD SYSTEM

Gitarattan International Business School

Page 27

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

An organizations reward system comprises three components-financial reward, nonfinancial reward, and psychological satisfaction. In designing an effective reward and compensation system, all three elements must be carefully considered, as detailed below

Financial Reward- financial reward is direct monetary reward encompassing the payment of cash compensation to employees for work accomplished or efforts expanded. Examples are salary, wage, incentives, commission etc.

Non financial reward- Non financial reward are indirect monetary rewards and include those items of financial value the organization provides to employees that do not result directly in employees receiving spendable cash. Examples are medical insurance, life insurance, subsidized canteen, subsidized transport, free uniforms etc.

Psychological satisfaction- This form of reward includes opportunities to perform meaningful work, social interactions with others in the workplace, job training, career advancement opportunities, recognition, employer brand etc.

LINKAGE OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT TO REWARD AND COMPENSATION SYSTEM

Gitarattan International Business School

Page 28

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

The purpose of reward management as an element of the delivery system is to attract, retain, and motivate the employee in order to achieve the organizational objectives. Therefore, in order to compete successfully in this highly competitive world, organizations and their employees have to continuously perform at higher reward is structured certainly influences the level of performance, at both the individual and organizational level. Effective alignment of reward strategy and business strategy can change behaviors, focus decision, and help human resource fulfill its role as a strategic business partner. Thus congruency between the reward system, the individual employees, organizational characteristics, and environment increases performance. Therefore performance linked reward strategies need to be formulated and firmly footed to the overall business strategy of an organization by

Recognizing individual contributions to the organization by rewarding key performers. Developing performance oriented compensation plans that are appropriate for different levels and classes in an organization. Designing a compensation plan that motivates key performers to make decision that are in the best interest of the organization.

What is Recognition?
Employee recognition is a communication tool that reinforces and rewards the most important outcomes people create for your business. When you recognize people effectively, you reinforce, with your chosen means of recognition, the actions and behaviors you most want to see people
Gitarattan International Business School Page 29

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

repeat. An effective employee recognition system is simple, immediate, and powerfully reinforcing. Employees not only want good pay and benefits, they also want to be valued and appreciated for their work, treated fairly, do work that is important, have advancement opportunities, and opportunities to be involved in the Company. Recognition and rewards play an important role in work unit to attract and retain their employees. It is the day-to-day interactions that make employees feel that their contributions are appreciated and that they are recognized for their own unique qualities. This type of recognition may contribute to high morale in the work environment. So, its extremely important that managers, who communicate the Company goals to employees, are included in the development of recognition programs.

The organization that can differentiate between, and effectively fulfill, all three levels of concerns (senior management, employees, and managers of the program) may achieve levels of performance they may never have thought possible. In addition, an effective recognition program should meet several essential criteria: a) The recognition program does not exclude any employee
b) The employees know exactly what should be accomplished in order to earn recognition

and rewards c) The manager's success is tied to the employees' success

A good reward must be SMART! That means that rewards should be:

Sincere- Above all else, a good reward should reflect a genuine expression of appreciation. Token acknowledgements leave something to be desired.

Gitarattan International Business School

Page 30

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

Meaningful-To endure a motivating influence, rewards should be aligned with the values, goals, and priorities that matter the most.

Adaptable -.The diverse workplace demands alternatives. Consider creative options to keep your program fresh. No single reward format works for everyone all the time.

Relevant- Some personal dimension is essential to a good reward. No matter how formal or informal, expensive or affordable, the relevance of any recognition will be improved with a personal touch - - its a little thing that makes a big difference.

Timely- It is important that rewards respond to the behavior they are intending to reinforce. Dont let too much time pass or the reward may be devalued and credibility eroded.

Key Points to Remember - Elements of Successful Reward and Recognition Program


A. Link behaviors that are to be recognized and awarded to the organizational Mission. In order for a rewards and recognition program to survive and be cost effective, it should contribute to the accomplishment of the organizational mission.

Gitarattan International Business School

Page 31

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

In attempting to design and develop an effective program, it is helpful to remember that the wants, desires, needs and values of the entire employee population are not identical. Steer clear of developing and designing a program that assumes that every employee wants the same rewards for a job well done, even though there are significant differences in their jobs, work locations, and work environment. Several elements constitute a good program.

Design the program so employees receive recognition and rewards as soon as possible Use a variety of rewards: a mix of monetary, non-monetary, and recognition leave Provide many opportunities for reinforcement Find items that are motivating to a wide range of employees in the organization or Provide employees with various choices

B. Train all levels of management. All managers and supervisors should be trained on:

Stressing the importance of the program and how it can impact the bottom line Providing employees an understanding on how they can impact the organization's goals and drive the business to success Discussing the approach for managing and rewarding both individual and team performance Explaining how the program works and how employees can receive recognition Learning ways to motivate and inspire others Learning how to communicate needs, expectations, and goals clearly

C. Communicate the program's existence. Deciding how to communicate the the program depends largely upon the culture of the organization and the various types of media readily available--training, staff meetings, policy and procedures, intranet, email, newsletter, fliers. Plan a time to meet with employees and review the program's progress and solicit verbal feedback on how the program is working. It is a rare program that works without some changes in the design or process. Use the meeting to find out if employees truly understand how the
Gitarattan International Business School Page 32

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

program works and whether or not the rewards currently being used are indeed of value to the recipients. D. Evaluate the programs effectiveness . All programs should be evaluated at least on an annual basis in order to ensure that the program's goals and objectives continue to be effective, are fresh and align with the work unit or objectives. Step-by-Step Guidelines to evaluate the programs effectiveness

Step One Target Your Audience Step Two Choose the Goal Step Three Build a Budget Step Four Develop Criteria Step Five Choose the Awards Step Six Communicate the Program Step Seven Present the Award(s) Step Eight Evaluate the Program

STEP ONE TARGET YOUR AUDIENCE Each work unit should have a specific audience to target. Also, as the manager, ask yourself:

What type(s) of work and jobs? How many employees? Who are they? What motivates each person individually? Do we provide team, individual or both types of recognition? How are recognition programs communicated? What are our employees recognized for? How do our employees receive recognition?

STEP TWO CHOOSE THE GOAL This step involves checking whether the goals set by the management are achievable or not.? What happens if a large number of the participants cannot attain the goals? Are there any other factors, which could hinder the desired outcomes? Are your current recognition methods sufficient? Determine if you need to redesign your existing program or design a new one. Include supervisors and employees .Identify the types of rewards (monetary, non-monetary ) Below are a variety of recognition and reward programs that you may want to consider for your work unit or Company. Safety achievement Honoring separating employees/long-term employment Creativity in new and innovative methods and procedures Superior performance Employees of the week, month, quarter, year Positive attitudes High levels of skill Team players Initiative to get the job done

STEP THREE BUILD A BUDGET When developing your budget consider the following items in your estimate:

The costs of the promotional materials The potential number of recipients The costs of the awards The presentation type (formal/informal; location) The number of people expected to attend the award presentation The costs of food, facilities, decorations, equipment, etc. The costs for the presentation ceremony The costs of training managers and supervisors

STEP FOUR DEVELOP CRITERIA Develop the criteria, usually written, that participants need to meet to succeed in the program. Be sure to include specific and straightforward goals that have some stretch, because it is unlikely that all employees will achieve the goals.

Be specific about the timeframe for which the goal must be completed. Employees must be communicated when the goal is to be achieved. A benchmark can set so that employees know what is to be achieved and when. Create a measurement system that is understood by employees, viewed as fair, and quantifiable. You may consider using a focus group and ask for feedback on how specific jobs are measured. Consider how often progress is reported (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly). Send reports on a regular basis to keep interest levels high.

STEP FIVE CHOOSE THE AWARDS Based on completion of the budget step, you may determine whether multiple choices are available to the recipient. Look at a variety of options within a certain price range that provide a good opportunity to meet the individuals interests. Choosing awards is one of the most important steps in the success of your program. If the reward chosen does not motivate or inspire employees to achieve the stated goal, the program may have less participation and not achieve the level of success expected. STEP SIX COMMUNICATE THE PROGRAM Program communication is essential from the start up and should be ongoing. Rationale and results of the new program should be clearly communicated. There should

Gitarattan International Business School

Page 35

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

be a clear link between what the target audience is rewarded for and the work unit or s priorities. Ensure that everyone understands the relationship between his or her improvements and rewards. Ask employees to compare old and new programs. STEP SEVEN PRESENT THE AWARD(S) Take the opportunity to let employees know what their individual achievements or Team accomplishments are and the type of rewards available. This can be Accomplished by verbal, written, E-mail or Intranet communication:

One-on-one with the employee In the immediate group or work unit In an -wide meeting

STEP EIGHT EVALUATE THE PROGRAM Its important to measure the success of your recognition program by considering both tangible and intangible results. Ask for feedback from upper management, and your supervisors and employees (participants and non-participants). Distributing an employee assessment survey prior to and during the program initiative also may be worthwhile Consider developing a survey or informal set of questions using the information Listed below: Employee Reaction Did employees clearly understand the program and its objectives? Was the workgroup excited about the program? Did employees like the rewards or activities provided?
Page 36

Gitarattan International Business School

Developing a Reward and Recognition system 17819103910

What did employee participants and non-participants like/dislike about the program? Did the program clearly explain how and why you should recognize others? Were the guidelines clear and communicated well? Was the nomination and award process understood? What was everyones favorite part of the program? Are recognition tools being used more often? How frequently do you, as a manager, and your supervisors recognize their employees? Did we meet our less tangible goals improving morale, fostering loyalty, and inspiring suggestions? Is an appropriate level of recognition given for the behavior?

How well is the program understood?


How has behavior changed?

IDEAS TO HELP MEET YOUR BUDGET


No/Low Cost Recognition Ideas These ideas are limited only by your own imagination and creativity. Here are a few ideas that are low cost to implement.

Formal Rewards: Recognizing Achievements outside the Company While this study showed that formal rewards programs are not as motivating to individual employees as more specific, personal forms of recognition, formal programs still can be very valuable to companies. Such programs are useful for formally acknowledging significant accomplishments, especially as they span a long period. Formal rewards also can lend credibility to more spontaneous, informal rewards used daily by managers in an organization. Recommendations: Employees should know all the reward programs in the company for that proper There should be clear visibility of job and value of that job by each employee so that HR policies should be told clearly on the day of induction. Some more rewards can be given, since most of the rewards given in this company are Frequent town hall meeting should be held. communication should be done by HRD. he can feel motivated and perform well.
