Crucial Compensation Conversations - Understanding and Communicating the Compensation System

There may be one thing in organizational life that no HR or Payroll department wants to get wrong: an employee's paycheck! This webinar does not address payroll processing. It does address how your workers’ compensation plan is built on a philosophy, designed to achieve specific results from the perspective of recruiting, retaining, and engaging the workforce.
 
Variation in approaches with different job groupings or classifications is possible and even desirable. And how do you keep up to date on your “Pay” package? We will address these and many other employee compensation and benefits areas in the webinar.

This webinar can help you sort through the issues of employee compensation and benefits and develop a plan of action for addressing your most critical questions. The webinar will also help you link organizational performance with employee compensation and benefits.
