REWARD MANAGEMENT AS AN ANCHOR

The PBS approach (as illustrated on the strategic rewards management page) is unique in its ability to provide clients with a holistic solution to Human Capital Management. Of fundamental significance and the major thrust of our approach is the need to ensure that any HR initiative put in place is speaking to, informing or linked with the Reward Management systems and processes. This therefore means that Reward Management functions as an anchor to inform or leverage other Human Resources Business processes. To the extent that reward is aligned with the overall business imperatives, Strategic Reward Management as we call it, if properly designed, becomes the force / influence that management can utilise to accomplish business objectives and hence increase stakeholder value.

Against this background, we at PBS have developed what we term the Dynamic Pay Concept or Strategic Reward Management, which is based on three related premises:

  • Pay can no longer be considered in a vacuum but must be aligned with the strategy, structure and culture of both the organisation and society.
  • The competitive positioning of the organisation must be taken into consideration.
  • Whilst the job and performance measurement remain important, greater emphasis must be placed on paying the individual for additional shareholder wealth created.

Our aim at PBS is to develop a reward strategy solution which ensures that reward policies are aligned to business and HR goals, point in the same direction and will work in practice. This solution has been instrumental in the implementation of Strategic Reward Management principles in organisation across the spectrum from large parastatal to private sector companies in South Africa and across the African continent.
