Reviews / Votes
"It will be invaluable to students, lecturers (for whom there is a free CD-ROM) and personnel professionals." -Accounting Technician, May 2005 "This handbook provides an excellent blend of theory and practice...although it is about the UK and is primarily for UK readers, this book provides insights beyond national boundaries." -Benefits and Compensation International, May 2005 "A very thorough introduction to contemporary reward management practice...although it is intended for practitioners, this also would be an excellent textbook for an introductory course on human resource management." -getAbstract.com, Spring 2005 "This handbook is a definitive guide for managers. It explains the finer points of developing and managing reward strategies to get the optimum results and is affiliated with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's professional standards for employee reward...a valuable reference aid for students and lecturers alike." -Quality World, April 2005 "This book is not only practical, but by linking so many thought patterns together, it has become a creative and essential item for those who need to build upon their own ideas relating to reward management and evaluation of such systems...I cannot fault this book. We all know that even with perfection, any scheme in any company can fail or succeed. But with the information available here, it would have all the ingredients for success." -Personnel Today, June 2005 "It forms an excellent reference for personnel professionals as well as students and is set out in a very practical way with many examples and references. Definitely worth looking at and a book that you might keep on a shelf in your office." -Management Services, September 2005 "A concept so elaborate...it's no surprise that it runs to nearly 500 pages." -The Times, September 2005 "A complete presentation of all that students need know to pass CIPD examinations." -Management Services, September 2005 "The book covers both the conceptual framework of reward management and its practical application in a readable style, complete with many checklists, diagrams and summaries." -Reference & Research Book News, November 2005More details
