Setting 2008 Compensation: Strategies to Maintain Competitive Advantage
Course Description:
The first 2008 salary increase projections from CompData Surveys are in, and it’s not pretty. According to their annual Compensation Data survey, preliminary salary increase budgets averaged a mere 3.65% for 2007 and are projected at just 3.63% for 2008. That’s essentially flat.
So with less than 4%, how do you 1) meet your organization’s recruitment and retention goals, 2) reduce turnover and encourage company loyalty, and 3) maintain morale and sustain productivity—especially when most employees equate their self-worth with their compensation?
Join CCM’s expert faculty for this powerful how-to on developing a compensation strategy around flat increases. You’ll also find out what other companies are doing to maintain their competitive advantage and keep their employees satisfied in this continuingly tight compensation market. Plus, you’ll learn:
- Expert strategies for planning 2008 salary increases and bonuses
- Average increases for a variety of industries and regions
- Important trend changes in bonus offerings, pay structure movements and incentive pay plans
- Alternate methods to boost your compensation packages, such as flexible schedules, increased time off, and more
- Strategies to help you balance your pay rises so as not to alienate good employees with a low increase, yet still keep your budget under control
- Competitive intelligence: learn what other organizations are planning for 2008 compensation
