Elephant Training and HR

Elephant Training & HR, Level 4, Canterbury Arcade, 166 - 174 Queen Street, Auckland.

Half Day
8am to 10:30am

In this workshop you will look at different types of remuneration and reward systems and how they work to motivate, recognise and reward employees, as well as how they contribute to employee retention. You will also cover ways to set salaries (including job evaluation, market data and salary ranges), how to review salaries (based on individual performance, company performance or a combination) as well as short and long term incentive schemes (including sales incentive schemes, annual bonuses and share schemes). Non-financial recognition schemes and how they work with remuneration structures will also be covered.

This is a practical workshop where youwill learn the pros and cons of different approaches and work through real life case studies - where systems have worked well and when they have not. Youwill also have the opportunity to use what you learn and design a reward system (both financial and non-financial rewards) for a real company and assess what works and what does not. Most importantly, you will then be able to relate this back to your current organisation’s remuneration system.
