INTRODUCTION Compensation And Total Rewards make up what we believe to be the most professionally powerful, primary, persuasive, pervasive, and promising area of, and approach to, Human Resource Management. But this is lost on many practitioners and organizations steeped in old ways of doing things, and struggling to make themselves relevant or impactful. It is relatively well established that the value of Compensation And Total Rewards make up one of the largest expenses of many organizations. More importantly, the broader and more modern concept of Total Rewards (as defined by WorldatWork, the leading global association of professionals in the subject matter area) present very powerful and sustainable combination of means of influencing attitudes, behaviors, contributions, and the delivery of results by employees, whilst aligning significantly with shareholder and other stakeholder interests. In recent years there has been a movement towards integration of the silos that once constituted what is now called human resource management. One of the integrating frameworks is that offered by the concept and practice of total rewards management.


COURSE TITLE



This course introduces participants to fundamentals of the world of “Total Rewards Management”. However, in order to enhance the conceptual leap from “old” to the “new” frames of reference, this presentation uses the term “Compensation and Total Rewards Management”. “Compensation” is one of the familiar silos of old. “Total Rewards” is a broader, newer term that includes compensation, but goes far beyond its limiting confines. In certain sectors and locations, the concept of Total Rewards is relatively new, or even quite foreign. As such, a reference to “compensation” is utilized, even though we will soon see that it is but a small (albeit important) part of the whole.

PRACTICAL BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVES & SKILLS
