The attendees will learn a pragmatic and proven eight-step approach for successfully designing, implementing and communicating variable pay programs.

Without a doubt, variable pay programs are truly the global trend. Organizations everywhere are wrestling with the major cost issue of containing fixed base salary expenses, in addition to designing compensation reward programs that more directly align employee goal accomplishments with their pay. One solution is to move performance pay out of base salaries and into variable cash rewards. To do this successfully requires a systematic, step-by-step approach that comprehensively addresses all of issues and challenges inherent in variable pay design and implementation. In his informative and interactive presentation, John Rubino will demonstrate a proven eight-step approach, that can work in any organization, to help ensure the successful design and implementation of variable pay programs: from assessing organizational culture all the way through to determining specific lump sum payouts. Come with your questions...and learn the state-of-the-art programs for rewarding employee performance!
