Managing Employee Compensation

Human Resource Management: HR for People Managers,

Whether you're writing paychecks or wondering where yours comes from, this course is for you! We begin by asking: "To succeed, what kind of a person does your organization need to attract, retain, and motivate?" From there, we'll explain how to align your organization's objectives, its pay philosophy, and ultimately the way it designs and implements its salary structure, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and benefits. Interested in learning more about the technical aspects of compensation, but don't know where to begin? We'll give an overview of key the key technical skills: compliance with pay regulations, understanding stock options, shopping for health insurance and pension providers, and designing incentive plans. Lastly, we'll discuss non-monetary methods of motivating employees. Upon completing the course, you should be able to have an understanding of compensation both strategically and technically. Learners will also gain introductory familiarity with pay regulation in the US.

This course gave me the overview on compensation and benefits I was looking for.

well organized great course Compensation and Benefits I learned all the details part in this course , by this i enhance my domain and its beneficial for my career growth This as an EXCELLENT course and well needed in my current and future roles as it really helped me in understanding the pay structure, pay determination and our management compensation plan.

Thus perhaps not as practical for Europe Great course Although this course did have some helpful information, it was very focussed on American compensation and benefits.

It would be far better if some ideas about Compensation and benefits in other countries were given in order at least to compare the traditions and Laws.

The course was so rich with knowledge as added me value in compensation and benefits The course was well organized and a great overview of all of the types of compensation.

helped me understand

The course also helped me understand my spouse's compensation package and to optimize its benefits.

It was a great course helped me understand and gain more insights about compensation and benefits.. My only suggestion is that the assignment part if it is given for the people to do for the job description of their country with their labour laws criteria it would be more efficient for the learner.

pay mix

Everything was great except a few things might be improved according to my personal experience:1.Elements in the pay mix model could be explained briefly in advance.2.Too much text on the slides in week four.

This course will give you a good view of how the different components of the pay mix affect employee compensation.
