Reviews / Votes
"A timely and comprehensive approach to the challenge of designing effective approaches in a multi-cultural workforce. This book is a must-have for anyone involved in human capital planning and development."Peter Ronza, University of Minnesota, USA
"Rewarding Performance Globally provides managers around the world with two dimensions of people management: understanding cultural differences and the difficulties of, and solutions to, rewarding employee performance. While there are many books on cultural differences, none of them take into consideration the difficulties organizations face in designing and implementing rewards and performance systems that can work in diverse cultures. This one solves that problem."
Kathryn McKee, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
"Finally we have thought provoking treatment of two vital subject areas! The issue of both performance and rewards has been the subjects to many books, but seldom have the two been combined and treated with the global workforce in mind. This book will be of great assistance in coming to appreciate that we need an open mind if we want to succeed, as there is no right or wrong, only what is!"
John S. Maxwell, Institute for Human Resource Management Education Inc, USA
