Trainings
• This program focuses on building a broad understanding of
compensation, and covers:
• HR’s role in compensation
• Components of total compensation
• Laws and regulations affecting compensation programs
• Independent contractors
• Indirect compensation (benefits) programs
• Legally required programs
• Who Should Attend?
This fundamental program is designed for HR practitioners
just entering the field, established HR employees with little
or no formal training, other employees who have
responsibilities that fall under the HR umbrella, and
business owners and managers without HR departments.
Conclusion
• Compensation is a hot potato for the Human Resource
Department. The motivation level of the employees to
great extent lies in monetary rewards. In the current state
of affairs it is indispensable to restructure the pay models.
Similar to changes bought about in the other departments
the HR should also emphasize on restructuring the costs so
as to bring the variable cost close to zilch.
• The major challenges what manager’s face today is
retention of the man power and the major cause of it is
that they are paid better in the other organizations.
