What you'll learn?

Today, every company is a performance based company and as such needs to learn to build and use its salary budgets for maximum effect on employee performance while still ensuring equity within internal and external components and avoiding compliance problems.

A merit-based, pay-for-performance matrix system serves as a guide for supervisors and connects performance to market rate pay.Pay increases are fair, logical and support business objectives.

Overview of the webinar

People work for money. Even people who love their jobs likely would not perform them free. The salary budget while often the biggest expense in a company is to employees, a reward system for their work performed in your company and for the skills they bring to the workplace.

Adopting a competitive, performance-based pay philosophy requires some extra work. In order to differentiate wages based upon the results of your employees, you need to know what you want people to do, be able to sort out how they are performing and, based on that, differentiate their pay.

The benefit of your extra effort regarding compensation is that you can drive your funds towards rewarding high-performing employees who may even be paid less than the market.Because, realistically salary budgets and increase budgets are determined not only by compensation philosophy and range movements but the actual budget (or not) the employer has.
