About this Programme

This masterclass will enable reward professionals to comfortably understand how reward strategy links to business strategy. Throughout the course, the participant will analyse their organisation's reward strategy. Prior to the programme, delegates will be asked to review their organisation’s strategic business objectives, including as outlined in the Annual Report, and to assess the alignment between these objectives and their organisation’s: approach to talent strategy; reward values and principles; and major group-wide reward plans.

Who Should Attend?

The Masterclass is aimed both at prime succession candidates to current Heads of Reward in major listed companies, and at newly-promoted or aspiring HR Directors, who are seeking to develop a more strategically focused set of reward skills
