    Compensation Strategy 2011

    Presented by Loree Griffith, a principal in Mercer's human capital business

    Program Overview

    Mercer produces an updated version of rewards and talent management trends each fall and we enjoy the opportunity to share trends in the marketplace and predictions for the year to come. The presentation will review successful talent management and reward strategies based on Mercer’s work with companies in the local, regional, and global arenas. The content is centered around five critical planning questions:

    §               What is the current mindset regarding base pay increases for 2011?

    §               What is the status of pay for performance?

    §               How are companies managing employee expectations for 2011?

    §               How are employers incentivizing and engaging high-potential employees?

    §               Where will employers place their compensation investment bets in 2011?

    The objective of the session is to help HR professionals, and in turn their organizations, design and implement compensation and talent management programs that align with current business strategies, are affordable and sustainable, drive productivity, engage key talent and minimize the risk of pay inequity.
