Overview

Strategy of a firm needs to be ably supported by appropriate reward choices to help organization gain and sustain competitive advantage. Reward is a powerful lever to change behavior, direct effort to performance goals, create desired internal culture as well as send signals to external competitive landscape regarding appropriate employee fit.
