Webcast description

This webcast is focused on compensation strategy for companies in Canada, and will address many of the issues that arise for both employees and corporations when designing an appropriate and effective compensation strategy. It will provide you with the information you need to enable your compensation strategy to evolve from ad hoc pay practices to a well-governed rewards program.

Using a recruitment case study, we'll look at the issues involved in establishing competitive pay for professional managers.

We will focus on walking through the case study and looking at how the HR, finance, and tax functions interact with the often complex issues that professionals working inside a private company face when dealing with incentive compensation.
