Description:-

By attending this webinar, you will learn what a formal compensation program is. This session will give you an understanding of the six steps in building a formal compensation program.

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!
