From the authors of "New Pay" comes this "how-to" for designing innovative pay strategies that both stimulate and communicate company excellence to the workforce and to customers. Based on their own consulting work with Fortune 500 companies, the authors describe pay systems designed around competencies, performance outcomes, team pay, broadbanding, and multi-source feedback. Readers learn to align their pay systems with their company's timetable and goals, while communicating to employees not just what is expected, but how changes benefit them as partners of the company.
