Getting the Most from Compensation Programs
There is no denying that the past 2 years have been challenging for employees from a career, if not a compensation perspective. There were many of us who lost our jobs, and even some who had their compensation reduced. Very few of us received increases. With the tide of business activity turning in 2010, we have seen some glimmer of hope that the economy will rebound and economic growth starting to be discussed again. Employees who rode the emotional wave through this period will have expectations that raises and bonuses will return. This session looks at methods to ensure that the discussion with Finance about salary increases and bonus funding doesn’t need a referee. In HR we can be proactive and prove to them that there is incremental benefit to those marginal compensation resources. We will discuss methods of how we can ensure that our friends in Finance will have confidence that we are spending that money wisely and with an eye to the future. We will discuss 9 methods for providing incremental value to those important compensation expenditures. Attendees will understand that while they don’t have to achieve all 9, even 1 can improve the return on the compensation investment.

Employee performance management can play a major role in determining the success or failure of any business endeavor, yet for many organizations, there’s room for improvement. · 23% of organizations define and adjust employee goals dynamically throughout the year, but nearly half wait until performance review time to do so. · 66% admit an inability to realign employee goals to corporate goals as they change throughout the year. · Only 11% of organizations subscribe to the performance management best practice of providing ongoing performance feedback and measurement against goals.
