This issue features our special annual look at the year ahead, based on your responses to our survey of prospects for pay and conditions. The results show clearly that pay is right at the top of the agenda for reward specialists, who as usual will have to balance upward pressures from recruitment, retention and motivation on the one hand, and inflation on the other, with downward pressures from affordability in many cases.

This platform is accessible online at any time and allows users to benchmark roles and view up-to-date pay award information.
