answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence is undertaking work to examine and take-forward the recommendations made within <em>Agency and Agility: Incentivising people in a new era. A review of UK Armed Forces incentivisation</em> by Rick Haythornthwaite. Regarding flexible pay, as outlined in recommendation 24, the Department will commence a trial of a 'total reward approach' through 2024. This approach finds the optimal point where personnel are best supported across all elements of reward, both financial and non-financial, to achieve organisational objectives in a sustainable manner. It will allow for tailored reward packages to be quickly and easily created to match the reality of what our personnel are asked to do according to their role and activity. Lessons will be learned from the trial and then we will look to roll this approach out more widely across the Armed Forces.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 11/09/2023 15:08:33 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2023 answer text <p>The motivations of individuals choosing to join or remain in the Armed Forces are unique to each person and will be influenced by several considerations. Pay forms part of a wider remuneration package which includes a non-contributory pension, subsidised accommodation, wraparound childcare, incremental pay, and a range of allowances on top of basic salary. The non-financial aspects of the offer are also highly valued.</p><p> </p><p>Looking forward, we received the latest report from the independent Armed Forces’ Pay Review Body (AFPRB) on 26 May. We will be publishing it and announcing our response to their recommendations before the Summer Recess.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 26/06/2023 16:17:50 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
