The former career and The former career and reward system …reward system …
1. Gave rise to problems of internal equity Because job content was not considered in reward
2. Did not stimulate individual development Because career & salary growth were largely
determined by years of service and quota
3. Created obstacles for internal mobility Because the system was highly complex and not
transparent
4. Created problems in recruiting & retaining skilled people Because remuneration was not always in line with
market
