This two-day course will help participants design and implement compensation and benefits programmes that attract, motivate and retain talented employees.

Introduction

An efficient Compensation and Benefits management system is necessary for every company to attract, motivate and retain employees. Yet companies are often challenged to maintain a compensation system that balances internal equity with external competitiveness and is also aligned to the total strategic intent of the organisation.

Upon completion, participants will learn and share experiences on the importance of the need to maintain strong principles in Compensation Management and the impact of internal and external influences that could shift your ideal state. The question is “how much is too much”?

Participants are encouraged to bring along their laptops for this workshop.
