Comp 101 Bootcamp: Your Guide to Creating and Implementing a Competitive Pay Program - on CD

A well-organized pay program is more important than ever in the years following the height of the Great Recession. Budgets are smaller, compensation programs are challenged, employers are being forced to do more with less, and new laws and regulations are adding fuel to the fire.

The United States may have avoided the Fiscal Cliff, but payroll taxes have increased. While the two percent jump may not seem like that much in the grand scheme of things, employees may notice their wages go down, even if it’s by just a relatively small amount. In addition to the payroll tax hike, the proposed Paycheck Fairness Act, which addresses gender-based compensation disparities, may be reintroduced into Congress this year.

These are just some of the issues organizations are facing as they determine pay scales and compensation programs. In order to keep up with other employers, as well as to keep and retain your best employees, it's a must for you to be up to date on the latest laws and trends so you can remain competitive.

Participate in this interactive extended webinar, and you'll learn:

• The importance of taking a combined approach on job descriptions and job analysis
• How to successfully evaluate a job’s worth
• Tips for developing comprehensive, competitive, and compliant compensation programs
• How to tell if pay-for-performance is right for your organization
• How to create an effective executive rewards program that works for you organization’s needs
