We all know that great work deserves great rewards. But in a world of work where the landscape for reward is rapidly changing the route to effectively delivering meaningful reward is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate. The labour market is more demanding, and as such there is a focus on transparency, not just at the executive level but at the workforce level too. New jobs, with no pay precedent, are emerging all the time. And flatter structures and contingent work forces mean career paths are no longer clear.
Here at Korn Ferry, we know how to create engaging employee value propositions, and develop the right total rewards strategies that enable effective, high performing organisations. We develop flexible and competitive total reward solutions that align employees and senior teams with the business strategy. And we build thoughtful employee engagement programs that attract and engage a diverse workforce and reinforce company culture and goals.
Our Government & Public Services team is growing rapidly. We’re looking to hire seasoned reward professionals to join our highly successful team in the UK. If you are an ambitious person who is ready to help transform the front-line of public services, working across an exciting portfolio of councils, hospitals, social housing, and education providers, we’d like to hear from you.
Our principal consultants work on project teams to design and develop tailor-made Total Reward solutions aligned with broader organisation transformation to meet and exceed client expectations.
