Reward strategies: Navigating a changing external landscape 

How political, economic, social and technological shifts are reshaping reward strategies for the future.

We are operating in a world in flux. Geopolitical tensions, economic instability, social fragmentation, and accelerating technological change are redefining the context in which organisations operate.

To explore how these external dynamics are shaping reward management, Mercer surveyed members of its UK Reward Leaders Forum. The findings highlight a critical intersection where external disruptions, internal workforce needs, and reward strategies converge, emphasising the importance of alignment and agility.

For HR professionals, the pressing question is: how can we adapt our people and reward strategies to effectively attract, retain, and motivate talent in this complex environment?
