Executive compensation has become one of the highest visibility areas in the HR arena. Almost daily we see a new article on the front page of the paper about over-the-top CEO pay. In companies without large, specialized HR departments, human resources generalists often find themselves responsible for various compensation-related projects. Attend this workshop to strengthen your position at the strategy table and serve in a consultative role to senior management.
