Reward System of Toyota
To be an Employer’s Brand or the best organization in society in view of the hyper competitive environment, an organization needs to develop a unique compensation and reward strategy that will be used as a motivational factor for employees. The Compensation and Reward System in an organization must fit the organization’s goals/objectives. Moreover, such system/approach is most likely associated with profitability of the organization, its size, the exposure to global competitive forces, the degree of unionization, amongst others. For my final project in this module –HR Resourcing, I will elucidate on the Compensation and Reward System of Toyota Motor Company (TMC), with the following highlighted sub-topics to be discussed.
