I have worked on IRS Pay and Benefits Bulletin through one of the most stable periods in pay settlement history. Luckily there are other areas of the subject that keep me interested, including the wider economic influence, and impact, on pay settlements levels. The processes managers employ to set pay increases, what motivates staff on the pay and benefits front, and how to develop the ideal reward package also keep my attention.

Prior to focussing solely on pay and benefits I worked as a researcher on IRS Employment Review. I developed an interest in industrial relations which has transferred to the role industrial relations plays in the pay-setting environment.

As editor of Pay and Benefits Bulletin I am responsible for the fortnightly email newsletter as well as the pay and benefits pages of the website.
