Description:

Knowing what workers want is the first step in creating an effective rewards-recognition program. But you’re not a mind-reader, which makes things tough.

Not only do you have to assess tangible rewards, such as compensation and benefits, you’ve also got to consider intangibles, such as employee involvement. Factor in the tanking economy, and you’ve got a real challenge on your hands. Now, more than ever, it’s vital that you come up with innovative and cost-effective rewards programs that can thrive regardless of the economic climate.

Order this audio conference recording, when our speaker – an expert on employee selection and retention – will share creative ideas for developing a comprehensive long-term approach to your rewards program that can withstand even the toughest economic times.

Speaker(s):

Joan Brannick, Ph.D., SPHR, is an industrial psychologist who consults, writes, and speaks on employee selection and retention issues. She has authored and co-authored several books, including Finding and Keeping Great Employees, a Fortune magazine “Best Business Book.” Her insights on workplace trends and recruitment and retention best practices have appeared in many online and print publications, including Fortune magazine, HR Magazine, and the Wall Street Journal.

You and your colleagues will learn:

• Research, trends, and resources that you can use to address retention issues within your organization
• How internal and external forces shape retention and how those forces may affect whether your workers remain productive and on the job
• How to identify employees’ work desires – and where salary fits in on the satisfaction scale
• Metrics you can use to evaluate your company’s strengths and weaknesses concerning employee retention
• The most effective way to integrate a “retention matters” culture into your organization
