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>"}
