REWARD AND BENEFITS

COMMENT

Employee benefits should be provided to support the business goals of the organisation by attracting and/or encouraging the behaviours and values that it needs to be successful – attract, recruit and engage. Organisations need to examine what their existing and future employees need and want and how best they can meet these.

Once this has been established, and the appropriate benefits selected and provided, employers need to:

* communicate, on an ongoing basis, to their employees what is being provided and why so that employees are aware of the benefits and appreciate and value them
* consider whether employees have the right knowledge, skill and attitudes to make informed decisions and whether they need to foster financial awareness
* establish targets and measures against which to assess how well the benefit is supporting its aims and objectives and so it can make any necessary adjustments.

“Excellent event, genuinely highly interactive despite the large audience, with good sector coverage and significant number of senior reward and HR delegates, allowing you to share thoughts and ideas, as well as listen and learn. In my humble opinion this is the best event out there in terms of providing genuine interactivity and showcasing what the leading blue chips are doing”

Duncan Brown, Rewards Director, PWC

“I have been working in the HR software industry for over 10 years and have built up a certain degree of cynicism about the difference between what conference companies promise and what they deliver. Osney Media has been a refreshing change. I have been to two of their events in 2008 and they are the two best events I have been to in 10 years. The professionalism of the organizers is second to none, the qualities of the speakers are inspiring and the ability to network with experienced, like minded HR Professionals makes these events a must.”

Tony Flanagan, Marketing Director, Cezanne Software
