Overview:

Employee pay should not be a static figure, but should be fluid and move within the pay structure in relation to internal performance and external market conditions. Organizations need to develop an internal in-grade pay strategy that addresses pay progression in a fashion that is transparent to employees.

Over time a singular focus on annual merit increases will not enough to reward an employee's performance contribution. This session will discuss the various elements of pay movement strategies, from merit pay to general increases to how the cost of labor often trumps the cost of living. We will explore a manager's perspective on performance management, the love-hate relationship that exists with merit pay, and will point out a critical design flaw not often reported in Compensation 101 instructional manuals. Attendees will be cautioned over the infectious cost increases associated with title inflation, what is wrong with common practice performance management today, and what to do when providing competitive pay is not enough to retain and motivate employees.

Why should you attend:In this presentation we'll be talking about tactical pay strategies, with a focus on the in-the-trenches practical aspects of what to do with employee pay movement within your pay structures. This is a topic not often discussed, and offers practitioners and managers alike practical advice for dealing with their pay-for-performance challenges. Attendees will gain an understanding of various pay movement strategies that can effectively operate within the organization, as well the choices available. In addition, we will discuss the linked impact of a properly developed and administered performance management program.
