Welcome
to the October 2006 issue of The SZA Total Rewards Bulletin. In
January 2007, we will publish our new book, High-Performance Pay:
Fast Forward to Business Success, with WorldatWork as our publisher.
We will tell you more about this book as the publication date nears. In
this issue of the Bulletin, the Strategy section talks briefly
about our belief that businesses need to focus on creating a Best High-Performance
Place to Work that rewards skill, competence, and results. In
Tactics, we are concerned about the role of the manager in making paying
for performance work. Too often managers say to employees, “I
would give you more, but HR won’t let me”—we all know it is the
manager’s responsibility to give feedback and rewards, and perhaps
some training is needed. The Tips section addresses issues of
performance management that we view as critical to creating a
performance culture and a high-performance workplace.
Pay & Reward Strategy:
Total Rewards
and Best High-Performance Place to Work

seeking to become a total rewards organization and receiving a
designation from Fortune or Working Woman as a Best Place
to Work compatible organizational goals? Or is it one or the other? And
where do “work-life benefits” fit in the strategy picture for
creating a workplace that facilitates growth, contribution, and
results?...read

Pay & Rewards Tactics:
What Are Good
High-Performance Total Rewards Managers Made Of?
From a human
resource perspective, good managers are developed and certainly not born.
And in most cases, they are not even developed. Rather, most organizations
take the most senior non-manager in a functional area and make them the
functional manager. One day the employee has no management
responsibilities, and the next they are a manager...The assumption is that
people who have been excellent in non-management roles will also be good
managers...read

Pay & Rewards Tips:
Setting the Table for Performance
Feedback
Most
performance management processes call for a periodic formal review of
skill, competency, and performance over the prior performance period...Whatever
the performance management process, these suggestions universally apply...read
