10:00-10:50 AM | New World of Compensation: Pay and Total Rewards Impacts in the Economic Recovery

We are seeing more forces impacting pay than we have seen in the last 10 years. What used to be an easy exercise of pay budgeting and pay setting has become clouded and the pace of pay gains is in hyperdrive. Join Matt Shefchik, Director of Total Rewards at Carlson Dettmann/Cottingham & Butler to learn about compensation in the recovery, and impacts to other total rewards.

11:00-11:50 AM | Emerging Benefit Trends – What Are Other Employers Doing?
Presented by Brianna Jacque
With recruiting and retention being top of mind for most employers, designing the right employee benefits package is more important than ever before. In this session, you’ll get a better understanding of what strategic solutions other employers are using to provide value to employees and combat rising healthcare costs.
11:50-12:10 PM | Working Lunch
12:10-1:00 PM | Leveraging No-Cost Benefits
Presented by Katie Rife
In today’s tight labor market, HR teams and top executives say that improving employee engagement is one of the key business strategies for 2021 and beyond. Not only does employee engagement positively impact retention, it is an important factor in overall performance of your business and brand reputation. One way to boost engagement and help employees feel valued is by expanding benefits, but not every company has the budget to do so. There are many low-cost/no cost benefits that already exist in your current program today that you may not be aware of. This session will cover where to look for these resources as well as how to maximize what you already have in place to make your benefit offerings more robust with little-to-no cost.
This event qualifies for 3 HRCI and SHRM credits.
