Hear ye, Hear ye, calling all Compensation geeks… will you be joining me at the WorldatWork Conference in Philly at the end of this month? There’s still time to register.
The annual WorldatWork conference will be held April 29-May 1, with loads of great information for those in the Compensation profession. This is the quintessential event for Total Rewards Professionals. Check out the quick schedule of the event here and the complete list of workshops here.
This year, I am happy to be presenting a case study with one of our customers, Perrigo, on how we used technology (specifically SAP’s Enterprise Compensation Management module) to deliver a best-in-class compensation solution for their employees, managers, and HR Professionals worldwide. Our session is at 9-10am ET on Tuesday, and official session title is: “Leveraging HR Technology to Build a Strategic Human Capital Platform” (Session Code T07T1). I am privileged to be presenting with Stacey Petrey Ed.D., CCP, VP of Global Compensation and Benefits, Perrigo. Stacey is a compensation visionary and truly understands how technology can support the needs of the business.
I have been lucky to be part of an organization (Worklogix) that has one of its core competencies in Compensation. We have several robust solutions, including a Compensation solution that will knock your socks off. I have authored five books from SAP PRESS including Enterprise Compensation Management. For a full list of my titles, you can also check out my author page on Amazon.
Some of the other sessions that I plan on attending (and why!) include the following:
“New Frontiers in Reward Design: Six Key Learnings from Behavioral Economics” (Session Code: C19T5) by David W Cheatham, CCP, Director Compensation, Coca-Cola Company. I know David from compensation work we did with The Coca-Cola Company, and am always impressed with what he has to say.
“Fantasy and Reality in Academic Research on Rewards” (Session Code: C09T2) by Barry Gerhart, Ph.D., Professor, University of Wisconsin; Kevin F Hallock, PhD, Director Institute for Comp Studies, Cornell University; Gerald E Ledford, Jr, Senior Research Scientist, Center for Effective Organizations; Michael H. Schuster, Ph.D., CHRS, Professor and Consultant, U.S. Coast Guard Academy. I am always intrigued at what academia can teach us in the business world. Of course, I am also always supportive of anyone from my alma mater, Cornell.
“Perception Is Reality: The Importance of Pay Transparency to Employees and Organizations” (Session Code: C07M3) by Robert J Centonze, CBP,CCP, CEBS, VP Global Compensation & Benefits, Campbell Soup Company; Nora E Costa, CCP, GRP, Sr. Director, Corporate Compensation, CVS Caremark; Rena Rasch, Ph.D., Manager, Research, Kenexa High Performance Institute; Mark A Szypko, CCP, GRP, Managing Director Compensation, Kenexa, an IBM Company. I like the topic as well as the mix of speakers between industry experts and analysts.
“From New Technology Smog to Cloud 9: An Overview of Today’s Hot Technologies and What’s Right for Your Organization”, Session Code: T05T5 by Kimberly L. Seals, CCP, Senior Partner, Mercer. Love the title, and session topic is just up my alley.
Will I see you there? If so, please be sure to say hello at my session, or anytime during the conference. If not, I will be providing some coverage on my Twitter account @jeremymasters.
See you soon (I hope)!
