How to Ensure that Rewards Drive Growth
If you run a business, it’s likely you see a future company that is bigger and better than the present enterprise. You also probably recognize that to fulfill that vision, pay will have to play a strategic role. Growth will not be achieved simply because you’re paying a competitive salary, have a group medical plan and/or allow your employees to contribute to a 401(k) plan. Rather, you recognize growth goals are achieved when an employee feels "invested" in the results the company seeks to fulfill. So how do you use pay to help accomplish that? What role should it play and what components should it include? To find out the answer to these and other related questions, you will not want to miss this presentation.
