Brown has had a busy year with more than 50 articles, presentations and talks. His post-pandemic reward strategy guide and strong advocacy of a high pay, high productivity rewards approach has been widely covered and underpinned his keynote at the recent CIPD annual reward conference.
His criticism of total rewards terminology in the cost of living crisis has also generated considerable concept-leading discussion and rewards redesign.
Brown’s leading work on equality includes authorship of the CIPD Guide to Ethnicity Pay Reporting. He has also been critical of the government for failing to make ethnicity pay reporting compulsory and enacting stronger labour market protection and enforcement for low paid workers.
He has authored a chapter in favour of lowering executive pay differentials in a new 2022 book, Debating Equal Pay for All, and an article advocating wider use of all-employee share and profit sharing plans in the current special issue of the US journal Compensation and Benefits Review.
