In today's shaky economy, differentiating high/low performers is more important than ever.

Why? Hanging onto your company's top talent is critical to weathering the storm, and today's HR professionals are challenged to do much more with less when it comes to merit pay.

But how do you define top performer, and how do you communicate little or no increase to the low performers? Some managers have little stomach for this, despite the long-term consequences for the company and employees.

However, in a recession this is one issue your company cannot afford to ignore.

Differentiating High/Low Performers:
Making Tough Decisions for a Troubled Economy
  REGISTER NOW! FORWARD TO A FRIEND

If you are not expanding the differentiation in pay between high and low performers you are most likely spending more than you should be on merit pay, lowering the overall effectiveness and productivity of your workforce and doing a disservice to your employees by over recognizing low performers and under recognizing high performers.

The biggest challenges surrounding an effective company-wide differentiation of high/low performers include how define top performance or contribution to the company, weak kneed managers, how to send a strong message when communicating little or no pay increase, what is exceptional vs. above average, what are typical spreads between high and low performers, and how do you hold the line on the top performers.

Don't get trapped into simply resorting to reducing the overall size of merit pay increase budgets, join IOMA and its panel of in-the-trenches experts and learn the secrets to differentiating pay, including:

How to define top performer How to define contribution to the success of the company Exceptional performers vs. above average performers Who gets raises and who does not? What are typical spreads between high and low performers How to communicate low or no increase to low performers Holding the line on offering increases to the high performers How to send a strong message with reduced or no merit increases How to consult with managers to force more/wider distribution of merit increases to reward top performers Being more proactive in educating and providing guidance on ways to create pay differentials between low and high performers

Your single paid registration entitles you to as many participants as you wish in a conference room setting. Register today for just $275. IOMA subscribers pay just $245!
