Human Resource Compensation and Benefits Strategy Course

Introduction

In the face of a completely disrupted business landscape, changing employee expectations, and growing scrutiny on wage fairness, Compensation and Benefits strategies are under unprecedented pressure. Approaches that worked a few years ago will leave your organization vulnerable to a variety of risks.

Compensation and benefits are key components of any HR strategy, as they affect their ability to attract, retain, and motivate your talent. A compensation strategy details an organization’s approach to compensating its employees. It sets out how remuneration is determined and the types of compensation offered to employees, including base pay, additional pay, and non-financial benefits. A strong compensation strategy is required in order to attract and retain people who have the appropriate knowledge, skills, aptitudes, competencies and attitudes to get the job done.
