A reward system that is:

- Transparent:   Meaning it doe not discriminate on race, nationality, sex, etc., but rewards individuals and teams for achieving the results and satisfying the common criteria set.

- Rewards effort:   Reward should be based on results and value added. A lot of reward is effected in the form of salary where you are paid for simply turning up for work. Total reward should differentiate and reward personnel who go the extra mile and add extra value

- promotes company vision:    Reward should be aligned with the company or organisation's strategic aims. Reward is one of the major tools for shaping organisations and nurturing talent

- Reward is not just money:   A lot of organisations keep thinking of reward as being the amount of salary paid at the end of the month. Nothing could be further from the truth. Reward is benefits; opportunity - be it L&D, personal advancement, experience, exposure to new influence; the working environment ... in short anything that the organisation does that effects the individual.

A good reward system should, therefore, be a holistic one that looks at how the organisation can shape itself to streamline effort and nurture it.

Can this be done in real term? Yes.

The thing that separates the experts from the dabblers is the how.
