11:15 Increasing the impact of pay through manager involvement The company keeps pay information as if it were a national secret. The organization tries to keep everyone happy by not explaining how the pay system actually works, but that just makes the system more confusing and raises more questions. I have been with the company for more than 15 years and have no idea how our profit sharing/incentive plan works. I sometimes get some money but have no idea how the amount is determined or what I could do to increase it. I have never seen anything in writing that defines the plan. I don’t like that! In a world where Google is just a few clicks away, employees want more information about their pay.

Facilitated by: Jeremy Maggs 12:35 Global Work Life Initiatives: The latest and greatest from around the world. A great deal of attention is paid by human resources professionals in designing effective total reward strategies and programs that are aligned with the business and culture of their organizations…. and rightly so! However, it can be argued that many HR people spend a lot of their time on the compensation and benefit components of total rewards, and not enough on work-life programs. Global research confirms that the most carefully chosen, culturally appropriate, integrated and aligned work-life initiatives are what employees truly value in their reward packages. Additionally, many premier global organizations have already proven that these programs are essential in creating a work force that is engaged intrinsically with the organization and its goals.
