This subject focuses on the design and evaluation of performance and reward management systems for both managerial and non-managerial employees. In the first half of the semester we will examine a range of design and operational challenges with performance management systems and the second half of the semester we will examine reward systems, with a particular emphasis on performance pay plans and their implications for employees, managers, unions and organisations.
