Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" reading guide !, 29 Feb 2000 By A Customer "Pay People Right! defines", Zingheim and Schuster write, "the leading and communicating role of pay in business performance. Pay enjoys a critical role in helping companies and people enhance their performance. A number of important tools are available to improve pay design. We describe how people can add value and how your company can get from where it is now to where it would like to be." In this context, Zingheim and Schuster : * define the six reward principles that provide consistency of purpose and direction for the diverse pay topics. * describe how an enterprise's business situation, business strategy, human resources strategy, and total reward strategy drive the business case for changing rewards. * discuss the importance of the total reward picture in determining a firm's competitiveness in the labor market. * discuss how business strategy and goals can best drive rewards to be successful. * define the concept of paying for individual's ongoing value along three dimensions : (1) skills and competencies that the individual uses to get results, (2) the individual's consistent performance over time, and (3) the individual's value relative to the labor market. * review alternative structures for base pay, including grades and ranges, market rates, broad grades, and career bands. * discuss both cash-based and stock-based long-term variable pay as a reward tool not only for executives but also for key people, wherever they are in the firm. * discuss team reward design and the issues surrounding the move to team pay. * discuss reward strategies for scarce talents, salesforce and executives. * discuss the role of total pay during the turmoil of mergers and acquisitions. * discuss results of globalization, as unique total reward opportunities. I highly recommend this invaluable study to executives, managers, HR and compensation professionals.
