Overview:

Human Resource practitioners or General Managers should attend this program to create and implement effective Compensation strategies that can become a competitive advantage for their companies.

You will benefit by learning strategies that can help to establish equity (i.e. fairness), simplify pay program administration, and be a more effective strategic partner in the business. A haphazard, laissez-faire program will lead to the same result that such programs lead to in larger companies: employee relations issues! Our pragmatic Webinar Leader, David Wudyka, SPHR, MBA, will share his considerable insight on this topic.

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • Why using a structured approach to pay program design is important
  • What is a "formal Compensation program"?
  • The six steps in building a "formal Compensation program"
  • Four goal-based characteristics of "pay strategy"
  • The importance of pay equity, and the two forms it takes
  • The difference between "Procedural" and "Distributive Justice"
  • Qualitative vs. Quantitative performance assessment: which is better?
  • Is it ok to use more than one payment system "under one roof"?
  • Why is it important to use "pay ranges"?
  • Job Evaluation? Why can't we just "market price" our jobs?
  • How can we get the most out of our modest merit budget?
  • The controversy about the use of Weighted Averages vs. Medians
  • "We can get pay survey data for free? Where?"
  • The most common pay program problem in companies of all sizes
  • Who are your "key contributors" and why are they so important?
  • Don't have enough cash compensation? Consider "cost shifting"!
  • Common confusion about "cost of living increases"
  • Considering mimicking your competition? Don't do it!
  • Considering conducting your own pay survey? Don't do that either!

Who Will Benefit:
  • Human Resource Managers
  • Compensation Analysts
  • Compensation Managers
  • Financial Managers of HR Departments
  • CEO's and General Managers of Small Companies
