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
  • design and communication tools
  • system of 11 job families adopted by Nationwide
  • five-level pay structure and progression arrangements
  • the move to a total reward approach: reward, work environment, benefits, learning and development
  • "Choices" - Nationwide's flexible benefits programme
  • problems and lessons learnt.
