TOTAL REWARD STATEMENTS
University of Lincoln introduces total reward statements
The University of Lincoln has introduced total reward statements for its senior management group. The university was already acknowledging core benefits such as pension, annual leave and salary, but it was becoming increasingly important to be able to demonstrate to senior managers the total reward package available to them - including benefits unique to the organisation such as the library, sports centre membership and performing arts centre performances - and to bring the full range of benefits together in one document.
The university appointed Prolog Print Media to produce the total reward statements, sharing with Prolog’s implementation and design team information about all the rewards it wished to cover in the statement and the corporate guidelines that needed to be met. Prolog then created the "rules, logic and a clear and structured layout for the statement".

As Prolog Print Media explains: “By focusing specifically on the senior management group, we were able to tailor the language and design of the statement to appeal to that group and also allow the University of Lincoln to utilise ‘white space’ in the document to deliver key corporate messages on areas of focus for the year ahead.”
The university is now working with Prolog Print Media to extend the use of the statements to the whole 1,500-strong workforce and as a recruitment tool.
A final word
“Feedback from the reward statements has been extremely positive on a number of levels. Managers have said they were not aware of certain benefits and in turn can now cascade this information to all levels of the business. Other managers have simply said they had never looked at their total package before and it was great to simply capture all the benefits in this easy to view format. We have also seen a tangible increase on our staff satisfaction survey in terms of employee morale and stability which we hope is partially due to this awareness.” - Ian Hodson, HR and Reward Manager, University of Lincoln.
