Introduction

Introduction

The title of this report is to evaluate the impact of reward approaches and packages and roles played by people professionals to support line managers in reward decisions making.

1.1 Principles of Reward; Organisational Culture and Performance Management

Intrinsic rewards- These are defined by Manzoor et al. (2021) as including various incentives provided to an organisation employees. It is also noted as internal rewards provided to the employees from their success in executing a project. The strengths of this reward is its impact on emotional progress and motivating employees in improving and developing sustainable behavioural change informed by their needs. Considering Home International organisation, satisfaction would be achieved by venturing in Gig economy successful. The drawbacks of this reward is employees only putting their efforts towards rewards provision and not to the organisation gain.

Extrinsic rewards- As explained in CIPD (2022), the extrinsic rewards are grouped into financial or tangible rewards provided to employees inclusive of pay increase, bonus and benefit.

The advantage of this entail direct control to the engaged individuals and all organisation stakeholders. Further, albeit of extrinsic rewards not directly associated with employees success, they promote a feel of being appreciated, encouraged to progress with their functions. Their disadvantages are failing to harness passionate and this is a bad image. Considering Home International case, by offering their employees with extrinsic rewards, motivation are increased hence ending up embracing hard work. This is supported by Manganelli et al. (2018) note as developing a good culture of immensely talented workers. Home International as they are intending to work in Oxford, Munich, Santa Cruz, Suez AND Kuala Lumpur.

Rewards integration with business objectives- As evidenced in CIPD (2022a) report, organisations fail in prioritising on importance of integrating rewards to their core objectives. This is not supposed to be the case as there is a need of ensuring expectations of employees are prioritised and integrated to business objectives.

1.1 Organisational Culture and Performance Management to Principles of Rewards

Organisational Culture- In Forbes (2021), organisation culture and behaviours identify organisation progress. The foundation of this is evidencing how things ought to be pursued in an entity context. A case example is a globalisation culture in Home International defined by risk takers contrary to conformers.

The importance of embracing culture to reward management is guided by view that human relationships and scope of interacting are implemented. For Home International case, by offering their staff with total and strategic rewards, organisation culture is harnessed, employees needs prioritised and fairness and consistent support.

Performance Management- According to MSG (2022), by embracing good reward strategy, it is possible attracting outcome-based professionals. This is to thrive and succeed in the business sector. According to Dan Pink Theory, for the intrinsically motivated staff, drivers of motivation are important to succeed in performance management (Pink, 2018). For Home International, this is by setting priority to be on noting on value aspect and recognising rewards practices.

1.2 Policy Initiatives and Practices

A recent report has highlighted that upto 95% of all contemporary entities encounter issues when it comes to being able to implement rewards policies and practices (HRD Connect, 2021).

Considering Home International case, the importance and benefits are;

Monetary Reward Policy

In regard to the case of Home International, considering Brexit policy enormous implication on their policies, costs incurred and profits, rewards policy is core. The employees would be provided with good bonus and allowances for their roles implementation. This inform what Laplane and Mazzucato (2020) has identified as the best approach in consistent practices and prioritisation of the external competitiveness of different departments. Home International would also be successful here by making sure employees engagement guide their pay threshold.

Non-Monetary Reward Policies

In order to implement this policy, monetary rewards could be integrated to non-monetary rewards collaboratively and interlinked effectively. In Rajapaksa et al. (2019) study findings, positive adoption of motivation approaches and a feel of recognition is core. Considering Home International case, this can entail providing all specific employees groups with accommodation facilitation, transportation cost catered, L&D opportunities supported by line managers.

Considering relevant steps to be followed to implement, they are;

Identify issues and agendas for development- The prevalent issue in this regard include rewards management in a holistic manner. Considering Home International case, this entail recognising various policy gaps which ought to be established. In this first phase, stakeholders functions are evidenced and level of involvement noted.

Formulate and adopt- This phase entail to formulate and accept a policy. A case example is Home International which could prioritise on continuous change implementation for all incentives management. This can be attained by stakeholders being holistically satisfied.

Implement the policy- The various reward policies must be future-based (Zhen et al., 2018). This is at the same time following good measures and resources allocated well. For Home International, as a best practice, they could work with various specialists in guiding successful process implementation. The process is pursued to eliminate issues and challenges which arise from elimination of issues which arise from reward implemented.

Monitor and evaluate–  This phase entail examining all effects, process and cost-benefit analysis (MSG, 2021). To note the extent of total rewards policies provision, level of their suitability to the employees and entire stakeholders is evidenced. This is while targeting rewards assisting Home International improving organisation dominance and profitability.

1.3 People and Organisational Performance Impact on Approach to Reward

People Performance

Positive Impacts

One of the positive impact in rewards is highlighted in Lloyd and Mertens (2018) based on Expectancy Theory of Rewards as informed by total reward system. A case example is the Home International which has 175 staff being affected in full and part-time contracts where high performance is attained for total rewards.
