However, with so many different possibilities to engage your workforce through rewards and remuneration, it is a complex task to ensure you are optimising your investment in human capital.

With many markets in the region gearing up for business growth, many employers are facing a challenge of aligning compensation and benefits practices with business objectives, as well as linking both company and employee performance with pay and bonuses. Uncontrolled business growth poses a new set of risks and challenges that rewards professionals have to plan and prepare for to avoid the pitfalls of pre-recession practices.

The Post-Forum masterclasses will ensure you optimise employee renumeration spending and maintain engagement, while managing the risks of the unknown factors in business growth.
