Lunch at The Compensation Café: Philosophy and Why You Pay the Things You Do

Topics
Human Resources
Compensation
Compensation Cafe
HR Management
Talent Management

Highlights

The purpose of a compensation philosophy is to establish the intent, objectives and priorities that will guide the design and management of your reward system. But how important is a compensation philosophy statement - really - and what steps can you take to make the exercise a valuable one? Expect to learn:

  • What's the point? Why should you bother with a compensation philosophy statement to begin with?
  • Beyond "We Pay at the Median" - what role should culture, value and core principles play in your compensation philosophy statement?
  • Can you avoid the "pretty words" trap, where you produce a well-written but ultimately meaningless document?
