You need to understand the dramatic effect of inflation on today’s compensation expectations and change course to retain employees and attract talent.
We are offering a soup-to-nuts super-seminar to give you the powerful tools you need to master compensation. First, a five-session deep dive will show you how to gather and use compensation metrics. Then, you will apply that information in a second five-session series to develop motivational cash reward programs (market analysis, traditional pay structures, broadbanding, and variable compensation).
