What is Reward?

The Reward team helps organisations to solve complex reward problems and develop equitable, strategically aligned, and people-focussed reward propositions. Through reward, we seek to fairly recognise the contributions of individuals and groups, and their critical impact on broader business success.
You’ll help organisations review, restructure and redesign their total rewards — encompassing both financial and non-financial rewards – with a view to ensuring reward offerings can attract, motivate, and retain the right people for their business.

Your career journey in Reward

As a graduate, you’ll be part of our 12-month graduate development program that has been developed for graduates in all service lines, and is focused on connection, learning and celebration.

The program will provide you with the opportunity to network with your peers from other service lines and geographies. Running in parallel to your technical learning, you will develop leadership skills to become a successful graduate, and as you grow as a transformative leader.

As a Reward graduate, you’ll take part in:

  • Formal and informal training sessions such as lunch and learn sessions, technical training sessions and on the job learning
