Deloitte appoints expert to launch new workforce reward team

Deloitte, the business advisory firm, today announces the appointment of Daniel Hibbert as director in its London-based human capital consultancy practice.

Daniel joins from Mercer and brings 20 years’ experience in supporting organisations on workforce reward issues, in both the private and the public sectors. He specialises in pay structure design, performance related pay, job evaluation and helping companies link reward with HR and business strategies.

Andrew Mewis, leader of Deloitte’s reward practice, said: “People are an organisation’s most important asset. According to Deloitte’s most recent human capital trends survey, eight out of ten UK respondents said they suffer from a lack of employee engagement. Rewards are a fundamental way of engaging with employees and boosting productivity. However, the rising cost of distributing rewards are also an issue for many companies. It is clear that businesses are struggling to balance these reward management challenges.”

Hibbert added: “We are seeing a real demand from clients to bring their reward systems more closely into line with the management of talent and with their business strategy. Those who can get this right will have a competitive advantage in today’s world of work. Deloitte is investing in its total rewards and benefits business of over 110 people and I’m excited to be part of the launch of the new workforce reward team. We are well placed to help our clients to ensure that their reward systems properly support the needs of their businesses.”
