About This Event
Overview : 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! Our pragmatic Webinar Leader, David Wudyka, SPHR, MBA, will share his considerable insight on this topic.
