Evaluate and design a competitive and equitable compensation strategy with confidence.
Competitive and equitable compensation plans are critical to an organization's ability to recruit and retain top talent. More than offering competitive pay, HR professionals are called upon to develop and implement robust and equitable total rewards programs that align with their companies’ goals and culture.
In this 2-day session, participants will identify key compensation plan and discuss best practices for building a plan that meets organizational objectives. Participants will specifically focus on equitable compensation practices and develop a roadmap for evaluating pay equity in their own organization.
Remain competitive and attract and retain top talent with an equitable compensation package that also meets your organization's compensation philosophy.
