| | | I hear and read, quite often, that "you are lucky to have a job." I am fascinated by this comment, from several standpoints. | | Jun 19, 2009 | |
| | | The increasing utilization of variable pay has plateaued with approximately 80% of organizations reporting using variable pay, the same number as we have seen for the past several years. | | Jun 16, 2009 | |
| | | I get a lot of e-mails from readers concerning compensation metrics and what metrics to use. These are always great questions because, as we all know, business is based on numbers. | | Jun 9, 2009 | |
| | | Does the fear of unemployment and job/organization insecurity ensure engagement in even those that are normally unengaged? | | May 26, 2009 | |
| | | I have heard a lot of talk about compensation and "the new reality" and admittedly I am a little confused on the meaning of this. | | May 12, 2009 | |
| | | I was perusing the internet this past weekend, looking for HR blogs and what people have to say. I came across an interesting blog post discussing the benefits of a TR Statement, and how now more than ever they are an important tool to explain to employees the Total Rewards they have access to and how much the employer invests in each employee. | | May 5, 2009 | |
| | | One of the things I like most about blogging is the responses we receive to our opinions. Sometimes we are able to guess what type of response we will get, however, other times I am completely amazed. Our last blog is a great example of that. | | May 1, 2009 | |
| | | The viral video of Susan Boyle from "Britain's Got Talent" really brings home the point that many of us are very quick to make decisions and make up our minds based on perceived first impressions. | | Apr 22, 2009 | |
| | | I wonder if wages will truly become depressed if we still have industries doing well. | | Apr 16, 2009 | |
| | | If you are performing and show a track record of performance, your organization should recognize your value, and you shouldn't need to worry about flaunting your successes. But I was brought back to reality this weekend: Sometimes perception and reality don't play in the same field. | | Apr 1, 2009 | |
