This two-day course covers workplace wellbeing in an organisational and international context, providing delegates with the knowledge and understanding of environments in which they as practitioners can plan, implement and evaluate wellbeing programmes to support strategic operational goals.
Launched in partnership with The Wellbeing Leader, our course is structured on the lines of a voluntary code of practice, which sets core standards and competences based on survey feedback given by workplace wellbeing practitioners. Clear learning outcomes are defined along with a training syllabus, objectives and course content.
The increasing complexity of modern remuneration arrangements brings with it new challenges in developing communication systems of sufficient sophistication - yet also clarity - to ensure effective employee understanding of the reward environment.
In this report, e-reward investigates the issues involved in communicating reward based on detailed case studies of the communications process in two organisations: the world’s largest building society, Nationwide, and leading financial and business adviser Grant Thornton.
In our first case study, the emphasis is on the communication of changes to pay progression and bonus systems at Nationwide as well as an exploration of reward communication more generally within the society. The second case study focuses specifically on the communications surrounding one major reward project - the introduction of flexible benefits - at Grant Thornton. The e-reward research illustrates how the heightened focus on communication among employers has been driven by a number of specific factors linked to the growing complexity of reward.
