Berkeley Payment Solutions CEO David Eason will be presenting "Key Criteria for Creating an Engaging Incentive Program in a Changing Corporate Landscape" at the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) 2012 Annual Conference & Trade Show in Toronto, Ontario on February 3rd from 12:10p.m. to 1:00p.m.
The incentive landscape is shifting moving beyond the traditional reward-for-performance model to a more holistic approach. Incentive programs of the future will be used as tools to engage employees and make them more active contributors to the organization. This session will discuss how to build the most effective incentive program. The recommendations are based on the extensive Canadian Incentive Trends Outlook for 2010 - 2011 survey, the first of its kind in Canada.
The presentation will:
- Examine current trends in the Canadian incentive industry
- Review top considerations in putting together an incentive program: Is it measurable, cost-effective, flexible and easy to use and administer?
- Present ways to ensure your incentive program has its desired effect
- Identify how to optimize your rewards program based on the new trends
- Demonstrate where the industry is headed and how incentive programs can motivate employees to become more actively engaged in a company's success
