For many employers and HR directors, the word "compensation" means only one thing: the mechanics of payroll. If your workers receive their checks on time, and the amounts are correct, then you may never give compensation a second thought.

But given the topsy-turvy economy, you can't afford to ignore the growing impact of compensation trends and troubles on your workforce:

  • Already, you've wrestled with many basic issues such as setting raises and bonuses in the middle of a recession.
  • Now, you also have to stay on top of touchy challenges such as rewarding top performers while satisfying demands from other workers for cost-of-living increases.
  • Plus, you must master the art of keeping compensation costs under control, tracking the latest base pay/range adjustment/incentive trends for employees across all levels—without knowing for sure where the economy is going in 2010 and beyond

As the paths of HR and compensation continue to cross, you'll need a solid foundation in the basic dos and don'ts to stay afloat. Join us on Oct. 27 for this practical 90-minute webinar, where our expert speaker—one of the first professionals in the United States to earn the compensation field's highest certification—will cover the following topics:

  • The most important everyday basic rules of compensation that you'll need to know in today's workplace
  • Key strategies for making 2010 compensation decisions when you're facing shrinking pay budgets and an uncertain economy
  • The steps you can take right now to review your existing compensation plans and benchmark them against those of your peers and competitors
  • What the experts are saying about 2010 compensation trends across the country for pay raises, bonuses, and other compensation factors (and, indeed, whether there's any consensus at all right now)
  • Tips for rewarding your key employees without breaking the bank for everyone else
  • What you should do—by the end of this year, and throughout 2010—to communicate with your employees and reduce their anxiety about pay issues
  • How to prepare your organization for compensation pressures and decisions that will surface when the economy finally turns around
