There
is increasing pressure on HR managers to put in place a reward scheme to secure
the bright young stars of tomorrow as well as retain top performers. But
finding and implementing the best scheme for your staff can involve
time-consuming research, especially given the proliferation of online schemes.
E-reward.co.uk
aims to lighten the load by being a one-stop information source on the reward
sector with news, features, expert advice, forums and a handy set of links. It
is run by Paul Thompson, former editor of Pay and Benefits Bulletin and Michael
Armstrong, chief examiner on employee rewards at the IPD.
