Turning uncertainty into opportunity: Rethinking pay and performance in a changing world

With all the economic ups and downs and new trade regulations, relying on traditional approaches to performance and compensation is becoming increasingly challenging. This interactive session explores how you can turn uncertainty into an opportunity to do things differently.

Learn more about strengthening the link between pay and performance, showing employees the real value of their work, and keeping your top talent engaged. Discover straightforward ways to make your pay strategy clear and fair, help managers become trusted communicators, and use a total rewards approach to give everyone a broader view of what your organization offers. Obtain actionable insights to help your organization navigate today’s challenges and get ready for the talent demands of tomorrow, with a focus on building the agility and judgment needed for ongoing success.
