| Case study: A strategic and flexible approach to reward at Nationwide Building Society | | Issue no: 1 | | Publication date: June 2002 | | For our first issue we interviewed Paul Bissell, senior manager — rewards, corporate personnel at Nationwide Building Society. A need for increased employee flexibility, improved skill acquisition and reward programmes better aligned with strategic business objectives led Nationwide to adopt job families and construct a new pay system around them. Its next step was to place increasing emphasis on the total reward package, with flexible benefits, personalised pay and benefits statements, a fair and flexible working environment and enhanced learning and development opportunities. High employee satisfaction scores suggest that these changes have been successful. | | Contents | | Over 17 pages, E-reward.co.uk Research Report examines: - Nationwide's reward goals
- its previous reward system
