    SARA was established in 1997 to create a platform for networking and to promote the development of reward. It strives to ensure that its members acquire and develop the skills, confidence and passion required for the discipline. It ensures sound reward management practices and acceptable standards in the following areas:

  • Remuneration (Fixed and Variable)
  • Benefits
  • Work-life
  • Performance & Recognition
  • Other aspects of the Employee Value Proposition

  • In January 2013, the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) officially recognised SARA as a professional body.

    The conference is aimed at executives, reward, HR and payroll specialists and practitioners and interested parties should book by 7 September. For more information, go to www.sara.co.za
