Aims
This workstream aims to propose a reward and recognition framework which is clearly aligned to career pathways.
The proposals aim to deliver:
- Rewards that provide clear promotion steps and recognition of teaching alongside research;
- Clarity on pay benchmarks and pay mechanisms; and
- Improved satisfaction with pay and benefits
Deliverables
Work carried out under the Reward and Recognition stream falls into a number of stages:
- Benchmarking and considering differences in total reward;
- Mapping pay structures to proposed career pathways;
- Developing and aligning a reward and recognition framework aligned to proposed career pathways; and
- Modelling and costing proposed pay structures and wider reward framework
