CIPD comment

“The use of non-cash incentives can be effective in motivating employees within the context of a wider reward strategy that is closely aligned with business strategy. For such schemes to succeed, employers must clearly communicate to employees the value and mode of operation of such schemes and ensure that line managers are fully engaged with the process.”
