GVCSHRM – 9/20/12 Program details:

Top Five Points to Consider Before Moving to a Pay for Performance Program (or Wondering Why Your Current Program Isn’t Working Well)

This event is hosted by the Genesee Valley Chapter of SHRM.  This program has been pre-approved for 1.5 General recertification credits by the HR Certification Institute.

Many organizations are thinking about shifting to a Pay for Performance Program but are unsure how to create this type of plan or if it would really work in their culture.  Other organizations have implemented such programs and are finding that they are not working as well as they expected.  This session will identify and elaborate on the key considerations which are necessary for success.  Participants are encouraged to bring questions since time will be allocated to address questions and share successes and concerns.

By the end of this session, participants will:

• Understand the key considerations for a successful Pay for Performance Program.
• Recognize that this type of pay system must be part of a holistic process supporting a shift to a performance based culture.
• Recognize the importance of managers’ support and ongoing actions.
• Appreciate the importance of timing of the implementation.
• Understand that this type of pay system is not right for every organization and every classification of employee.
