Ein führender Experte auf dem Gebiet der Mitarbeiterentlohnung erläutert in diesem Band, wie man attraktive Entlohnungssysteme einführt, um einerseits Spitzenleute zu gewinnen und andererseits Mitarbeiter zu Bestleistungen anzuspornen. Im heutigen hart umkämpften Markt ist dies die Grundvoraussetzung für dauerhaften Unternehmenserfolg, denn das Wissen und die Fähigkeiten der Mitarbeiter sind wesentlicher Bestandteil des Unternehmenswertes. Lawler schlägt vor, starre, traditionelle Gehaltsstrukturen aufzugeben, weil diese nicht in der Lage sind, zwischen den besten und nur durchschnittlichen Mitarbeitern zu unterscheiden. Statt dessen müssen moderne Unternehmen lernen, kreative und flexible Entlohnungsformen entwickeln, um gute, hochqualifizierte Mitarbeiter an sich zu binden.
