Program Overview:

Management Compass - Selecting the Right Incentive Plan For Your Company

 

With more pressure than ever on companies to perform, organizations and compensation professionals need to take a fresh look at their variable compensation plans that provide cash to employees.

 

Incentive compensation is a powerful management devise. There are many such programs: management bonus plans, employee gainsharing, scorecards, sales incentives and others. Leading companies select and deploy the right variable compensation plans to improve employee performance.

 

However, not all incentive plans are appropriate for all companies. Some will succeed at your company but others will fail. Learn how your company's management model determines which incentive plans work and which will not. Discover how to select the right plans, measures and practices to improve employee performance
