In June 2020 UCEA offered members the opportunity to attend a series of online seminars looking at pay and reward during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
The seminars were recorded and our members are able to watch these and access the PowerPoint slides.
They provide members with case studies, perspectives and analysis on important reward topics within the context of an extraordinary social, organisational and economic environment. With investment in staff comprising over half of the sector's expenditure, robust reward practices will be vital to managing through these difficult times. Strategic approaches to reward will also be important in contributing to sustaining staff morale and motivation.
The seminars (listed below) cover different topics chosen as relevant to HEIs’ reward strategies in 2020 and beyond.
UCEA members can request access the recordings by emailing events@ucea.ac.uk
This seminar looks at the wider reward package and organisational environment and featured a new framework for reviewing and renewing reward strategies from reward expert Duncan Brown. An institutional perspective is provided from the University of Lincoln and an out-of-sector perspective by the Direct Line Group.
Front line workers are in the spotlight while some executives in listed companies are volunteering for pay cuts – what implications does this have for reward in our sector? This seminar looks at both ends of the pay spectrum with the Educational Competencies Consortium (ECC) discussing job evaluation and low pay and includes a look at senior remuneration with reward consultant Chris Charman.
These online seminars replaced our successful reward workshops in the 2019-20 academic year, which we have run annually since 2013.
