This 5-part series covers Sales Compensation, Compensation Philosophy, Building and Maintaining Pay Structures, Implementing Short-Term Incentive Programs, Executive Compensation & Long-Term Incentives.

Compensation 101 - Compensation Philosophy 

Studies have shown that employees have higher levels of engagement when they understand the purpose and philosophy driving their company’s compensation and rewards programs. Your compensation and rewards philosophy is a foundational element that outlines how you value and reward your employees, and a critical piece to your company's pay transparency program. In this session we’ll explore how a compensation and rewards philosophy is structured; various compensation and rewards elements; how to define your market scope; and how to include employees in this process.

Compensation 201 - Building & Maintaining Salary Structures 

You've set your company's compensation philosophy. You've got the most recent data from TAP Network's 2023 salary survey. Where do you go from here? In Compensation 201, you’ll learn how to build and maintain salary structures that ensure external competitiveness as well as and internal equity and transparency. We’ll explore how to create flexible structures that allow you to effectively administer your base pay program to attract, motivate and retain employees—even through changing and challenging market conditions. 

Implementing a Short-term Incentive Program 

Focus on variable pay, or Short Term Incentives (STIs), such as annual bonus programs, quarterly incentives, and more!

 Vincent Chow of LoganHR shares his expertise on best practices for designing, measuring, funding, and paying out STI programs, and how to align these programs with business strategy. He also provides his thoughts on alternate STIs to consider (or not!) in highly competitive job markets. 

Executive Compensation and Long Term Incentives 

You’ve set your company’s compensation philosophy, you’ve built competitive base pay salary structures, and you’ve implemented a short-term incentive program. Now it’s time to shift your focus onto Executive Compensation & Long Term Incentives.
