About the Association
It is the South African Reward Association's (SARA) objective to promote, develop and empower the reward profession in South Africa, and to ensure that the reward specialists and managers, human resources professionals and executives dealing with and responsible for reward management, have the skills, confidence and passion for the reward discipline to make a significant difference in the way organisations position themselves to achieve their strategic objectives.
SARA plays a key role in the professional development of reward professionals in South Africa through its internationally recognised training and internship programmes. Since its inception in 1997, SARA has grown from strength to strength. SARA head office is based in Johannesburg, with branches in KwaZulu Natal and Cape Town to serve our members nationally. The SARA membership listing includes corporate firms, government service and parastatal companies. Most organisations listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange are corporate members of the association and our individual membership listing in in excess of 3000.
The field of reward management, which has now expanded beyond the concept of remuneration, has taken on notable proportions as companies realise the impact of human behaviour on the strategic objectives of the business. It has become a real and essential art to attract, retain and engage employees at all level within the organisation. Reward specialists, who are responsible for the design, development and implementation of reward strategies, policies and processes that will support organisational and people objectives, are deemed critical skills and these professionals need to be on top of their game at all times. It is therefore SARA's purpose to ensure that these professionals as well as those working closely with them, are equipped to face challenges in this industry.
