In all organizations the Human Resource is the greatest expense, so it is important that the administration of Compensation and Benefits is of the highest quality. Well trained Remuneration staffs are able to monitor the systems in place and add a strategic perspective.

This exciting new combined programmed looks at the basic building blocks of effective benefits administration and then goes on to explore the Strategic dimensions - how the whole process can add ‘value for money’ and help the organization achieve its objectives.

Delegates can expect to develop a ‘toolkit’ of useful practices that will allow them to scrutinize the existing practices in their organizations and compare them to current good practice.

• More effective, and contribute more to the what and how of reward management
• Have a firm methodological underpinning of compensation and benefit management
