Among the many human-capital topics covered are new reward strategies for attracting and retaining highly qualified employees from America's fast-draining talent pool; addressing the mass retirement of baby boomers-the decade's most vexing HR problem; and responding to the varying needs and desires of a multicultural, multi-generational workforce ranging from the over-sixty traditionalists to the new “Millennials.” The Compensation Handbook illustrates how employee compensation addresses these and many other critical topics, including:

• Unwrapping the riddle of employee pay
• Creating a total reward strategy

• Creating team-based incentives for strong outcomes
• Rationalizing board compensation
• Applying a solid program for addressing work-life issues
• Designing compensation systems that support talent management strategies
