O P T I M I Z I N G B E N E F I T SThe cost of employee benefit plans is ever increasing, so HR professionals need to optimize benefits to maximize the company’s return on investment!

HR professionals are responsible for motivating employees to improve their performance in order for the company to progress. The benefit plan is a crucial part of incentivizing employees to perform, but most HR professionals struggle with designing a plan that suits the majority of employees. This course begins with clarifying the content of employee benefit plans and then explains the types and phases of benefit program design. Participants get a chance to apply that knowledge to analyze an implementation case study and then use their new skills to design an employee benefit program for their company.

S A L E S I N C E N T I V E P L A N D E S I G NAs an HR professional, have you ever been challenged on your sales incentive program (“Is it fair?”, “Why is it this way?”)? Attend this course to ensure your sales incentive plan is designed appropriately, and be able to effectively answer all these questions, and more!

Incentive plans are used to encourage employees to perform at high levels of productivity. However, every sales incentive plan must be designed to fit the unique needs of the business — it must be aligned with the strategy and circumstances of each organization and role. This course covers, in detail, how to design a sales incentive plan, and in particular how to deal with 10 critical design decisions.

The aim of this course is not to give you the correct answer, but to enable you to make appropriate judgment calls that are suitable to your organization. At the end of this course, you will be well-equipped to start designing or redesigning your own sales incentive plan, and this in turn will help you to better communicate the details of the plan — both the what and the why!

U T I L I Z I N G A S S E S S M E N T T O O L S E F F E C T I V E LYThe enormous variety of assessment tools can be confusing and daunting, but can also be essential to talent acquisition and development!

In emerging markets or high-growth industries where rapid promotion and career advancement are the norm, traditional assessment techniques are insufficient to measure “readiness” for a significantly different role or gauge leadership “potential.” HR professionals struggle to choose the right assessment tools to best measure employees’ potential, readiness, and fit, rather than merely their performance. This course explains different types of assessment tools and what they measure and provides a model for HR to choose the right assessment tool, as well as how to interpret results and give feedback
