About the Series

The management of human resources has become the most important source of
innovation, competitive advantage, and productivity, more so than any other resource.

More than ever, human resources management (HRM) professionals need the knowledge

and skills to design HRM policies and practices that not only meet legal requirements but

also are effective in supporting organizational strategy. Increasingly, these professionals

turn to published research and books on best practices for assistance in the development

of effective HR strategies. The books in the Nelson Series in Human Resources

Management are the best source in Canada for reliable, valid, and current knowledge about

practices in HRM.

The texts in this series include:

• Managing Performance through Training and Development

• Management of Occupational Health and Safety

• Recruitment and Selection in Canada

• Strategic Compensation in Canada

• Strategic Human Resources Planning

• Industrial Relations in Canada

• Research, Measurement, and Evaluation of Human Resources

• International Human Resources: A Canadian Perspective

The Nelson Series in Human Resources Management represents a significant development

in the field of HRM for many reasons. Each book in the series is the first and now best-

selling text in the functional area. Furthermore, HR professionals in Canada must work with
Canadian laws, statistics, policies, and values. This series serves their needs. It is the only

opportunity that students and practitioners have to access a complete set of HRM books,

standardized in presentation, which enables them to access information quickly across
many HRM disciplines. Students who are pursuing the CHRP (Certified Human Resource

Professional) designation through their provincial HR associations will find the books in

this series invaluable in preparing for the knowledge exams. This one-stop resource will

prove useful to anyone looking for solutions for the effective management of people.

The publication of this series signals that the HRM field has advanced to the stage where

theory and applied research guide practice. The books in the series present the best and

most current research in the functional areas of HRM. Research is supplemented with
examples of the best practices used by Canadian companies that are leaders in HRM. Each

text begins with a general model of the discipline, and then describes the implementation

of effective strategies. Thus, the books serve as an introduction to the functional area for
the new student of HR and as a validation source for the more experienced HRM

practitioner. Cases, exercises,and endnotes provide opportunities for further discussion

and analysis.

As you read and consult the books in this series, I hope you share my excitement in being
involved and knowledgeable about a profession that has such a significant impact on the

achievement of organizational goals, and on employees’ lives.

Preface

The premise of this book is that an organization’s compensation system can have a major
impact on its success, but that the most effective compensation system may be very

different from one organization to the next and may even differ over time for the same

organization. However, if there is no single compensation system that fits all organizations,

this makes life very complicated for those who manage organizations.

This book provides a systematic framework for identifying and designing the

compensation system that will add the most value to the organization. Chapter 1 lays out a

road map for how this book will do that. As you will see, the first half of the book focuses on
developing the compensation strategy, and the second half focuses on how to transform

the compensation strategy into an operating compensation system.

Achieving an effective compensation system requires a diagnostic approach. That is, to
identify the most effective compensation system for a given organization, it is first

necessary to understand that organization, its strategy, and its people. Part One of the

book focuses on developing these understandings by first providing a road map to effective
compensation (Chapter 1), a strategic framework for compensation (Chapter 2), and then a

behavioural framework for compensation (Chapter 3).

Part Two provides the ingredients and processes for formulating a compensation strategy.

The three main components of a compensation system are examined, along with the
choices to be made in determining the most appropriate compensation mix for a given firm

(Chapter 4). Next, the available choices of performance pay plans is presented (Chapter 5),

along with the key factors in deciding which of these choices are suitable for inclusion in
the compensation mix. After identifying factors that constrain compensation

choices, Chapter 6 provides a process that should result in the formulation of the most

appropriate compensation strategy for a given firm.

However, the formulation of the compensation strategy does not mark the end of the

compensation process. Compensation strategy needs to be translated into an operating

compensation system that results in an actual dollar value of compensation for every

employee. Determining a compensation value for a given employee depends on a
combination of the relative value of that employee’s job to his or her employer (as

determined through job evaluation), the value the labour market places on that job (as

determined by compensation surveys), and the value of that employee’s performance (as
determined by performance appraisal). Part Three covers the many technical processes

necessary to convert the compensation strategy into a compensation system, including

those for evaluating jobs (Chapters 7 and 8), for evaluating the market (Chapter 9), and for

evaluating individual employees (Chapter 10).
