Hourglass issue 22: Putting HR at the centre of your people strategy from PwC looks at the underlying factors that motivate senior employees.

We've seen plenty of media scrutiny over the past few months regarding the size of executive bonus payouts, particularly those handed out in the banking and financial services sectors. With these headlines in mind, could now be the time to re-examine the effectiveness of your organisation's reward strategy in the post-recession landscape?

 

In this June 2011 edition of Hourglass we highlight our recent report, The Psychology of incentives, which looks at the underlying factors that motivate senior employees. We ask whether traditional reward packages are really attracting or retaining the right kind of talent and look at some of the alternative options for rewarding and inspiring your people.

 

In this issue we also look at the impact of university tuition fees on Generation Y, the effects that political upheaval can have on international mobility and talk to Tim Pointer, HR Director at Pentland Brands. You can read the full magazine as a PDF here.
