Guelph, Ontario

Instructor (Continuing Education) for the Compensation & Benefits and Human Resource Management courses at the University of Guelph starting on September 20, 2010. The course counts towards the CHRP and PCMP designations.

This course provides a framework for understanding various types of compensation approaches. The course begins by presenting a pay model outlining strategic compensation objectives, policies that form the foundation of a compensation system and alternate techniques that can be used in paying employees. The course distinguishes between job-based and person-based pay structures and the ongoing management functions that maintain internal alignment, enhance organizational competitiveness and create employee incentives within these various types of pay systems. Methods for decision making regarding pay level, pay mix and pay structures are explored. Various pay-for-performance plans are explained along with research evidence concerning their effectiveness in motivating employees and achieving business objectives. The course also examines the compensation of special groups, external market forces that impact compensation, the collective bargaining process and the roll of government and legal compliance issues in determining compensation practices.

The subject matter of this course focuses on the relationships between an organization's strategic planning and human resource management. Global economic and workforce trends, competitiveness and the employment relationships, the response of the human resource manager to a changing environment and new roles and ways of looking at traditional human resource functions are among some of the issues discussed. The course also introduces the components of the total compensation system, their application to human resources management and their role in supporting overall organizational strategy.
