Future-oriented structuring of remuneration, wages, salaries and benefits

This training is held in German.
Which fixed and variable remuneration systems appeal to people today? Which incentive systems and bonus models are used to retain and motivate employees in the long term? Which forms of compensation & benefits (Comp & Ben) promote performance, development and teamwork? How do you ensure acceptance, fairness and fair pay? What is the best way to prepare for extensive pay transparency? How do you combine OKR (Objectives and Key Results), target agreements or performance appraisals with remuneration components in a meaningful way? Which short-term and long-term incentives will make a company irresistible? Here you will learn how monetary and non-monetary incentives can be used in a meaningful and attractive way.

Compensation and Benefits: Corporate Benefits

Corporate benefits ( employee benefits, benefits for employees or employee offers) are provided in order to retain and motivate employees in the long term. These are special additional benefits (e.g. annual public transport ticket, meal allowances) and offers (e.g. discount offers). Corporate benefits - as part of benefits and compensations - are often offered instead of a salary increase. In general, modern benefits increase employees satisfaction and strengthen the employer brand.

Advantages of the benefits - as Benefits and Compensation

Benefits for employees significantly improve employer attractiveness - for existing employees and for interested talent. Corporate benefits are often a decisive factor in the decision of applicants.

Ask yourself:
- What are modern benefits for my employees?
- What are exceptional benefits for employees?
- Which corporate benefits (compensation and benefits) are already a must today?

In this current training , you will receive more than just the answers to your questions. It teaches you in a practical and transfer-oriented way how motivation can be combined with benefits or target agreements. You will learn how to create a real win-win situation for the company and the employees.

Please note: We use third-party tools for selected events. Personal data of the participant will be passed on to them for the implementation of the training offer. You can find more information in our privacy policy.
