The design work for the first elements of the Total Reward Trial have begun. In line with the recommendations of the Haythornthwaite report, we have adopted the ‘think big, start small and scale fast’ approach. Elements of the trial will be implemented over the next 12 months using an engineering cohort. The learnings will inform further design iterations and tests which can be scaled.
