The definitive HR professional’s guide to designing highly effective compensation and benefit programs
· Best-fit practices and financial/accounting techniques for aligning compensation and benefits with corporate objectives
· How to quantify and optimize the business value of compensation and benefits programs
· Key concepts explained with various examples
This guide will help HR professionals bring true financial and accounting discipline to compensation and benefit design, tightly align talent management to strategy, and quantify program performance in the language of finance.
Leading educator and consultant Bashker D. Biswas brings together information that is rarely presented coherently, and almost never presented in non-financial texts. He thoroughly explains best-fit practices for superior program design, demystifies relevant financial and accounting concepts, and illuminates key connections between HR program development and GAAP/IFRS accounting requirements.
This guide’s far-reaching coverage ranges from integrating compensation and benefits into Balanced Scorecards to managing expatriate compensation. Biswas reveals the true financial implications of every element of modern compensation and benefit programs, from base salaries to stock incentives, from sales compensation to healthcare cost containment. Perhaps most important of all, he helps you systematically measure the value of your investments—so you can both prove and improve your performance.
