The upward momentum of chief executive pay and reward in the UK’s largest organisations has reached a crisis point. It does not clearly correlate to personal performance or business outcomes and this is having a significant impact on the motivation levels of the wider workforce, according to new research from the CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development.

In over half (55%) of UK organisations, HR is now an essential part of the development and delivery of the overall business strategy. This is according to research1 from NGA Human Resources, the HR and payroll expert.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), employment levels increased by 207,000 in the three months to October, representing an employment rate of 73.9% with 31.3 million people in work.

The recent ONS Regional Labour Market Report shows that the North is still lagging well behind the South.

ONS figures published today show the number of self-employed people reached a record high in the three months to October.
