Executive pay and performance measurement practices in the UK

Abstract

The use of performance measurement systems and the balanced scorecard has been on the increase, and there is now a trend amongst practitioners and academics to prescribe that rewards should be linked to the measurement system. However, little research has been done in this area. This paper reports the results of a recent survey of executive reward practices in large companies based in the UK. Senior HR professionals and reward specialists were approached to provide details of performance measurement and reward practices in their own organizations, and to give their opinions on the benefits of such an approach.
