In this webinar, the second in the series, a cross-functional panel of Gartner experts addresses the top customer-engagement questions they receive from clients, and provides specific actions you can take during this phase of the crisis.

Discussion Topics:

  • How to keep your organization customer-centric
  • Top customer-engagement questions Gartner is fielding

Use Benefits Management To Keep Your Senior Managers
On A Leash, Walking To Heel & Even Jumping Through Hoops!

  • Are you running a kennels for pet projects?
  • How do you choose the right projects and check whether they actually worked?

Keeping your portfolio of projects organised and prioritised is difficult at the best of times, but if you have no common definition of success or means of comparison, how will you know whether or not a project should be funded?

If investment decisions are made based on who does the best ‘puppy dog eyes’ (or barks the loudest) how do you keep the pet projects out of your portfolio and concentrate on your most valuable initiatives?

Do you recognize the following challenges in your organisation?

  • A lackadaisical ‘and then a miracle occurs attitude’
  • The Goldilocks business case (one option too hot, one too cold and one just perfect!)
  • The Pit Bull Terrier sponsor whose definition of success is that ‘the kit has been delivered!’
  • Shiny New Toy Syndrome: someone saw the product at a trade show and thought it looked ‘sexy’.

If you answered ‘yes,’ to any of these, then benefits management is for you. It provides a logical, repeatable discipline: a means of organising a portfolio of work and prioritising the Crufts winners over the tatty mongrels.

The webinar will build on the content and worked example in the recently released APM Learning module on benefits management.

While it is not required reading, delegates may find it useful to familiarise themselves with the module before attending the webinar. APM Learning is available to individual members with Associate or higher grades.

This session will teach executives, project managers, lawyers, HR personnel, benefits managers, and others about the latest trends in pay equity laws on the state, national, and international levels.

These trends include:

  1. The expansion of what is considered “comparable work,”
  2. Legislative “safe harbors” (which incentivize employers to conduct proactive equal pay audits), and
  3. Increased pay transparency laws, including pay data reporting regimes.

In this session Joanna Kim-Brunetti & Mark Dwyer , will take you through the nuts and bolts of conducting a pay equity audit—the analytical tool recommended by professionals across multiple industries for addressing compensation issues proactively.

They will discuss the most up-to-date evaluation and remediation methods, as well as pitfalls in the process to be wary of.

Joanna & Mark will also touch on the unique challenges and considerations that must be taken into account when it comes to utilizing software solutions in the pay equity audit process.

They will also discuss the unique challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as how furloughs, lay-offs, and rehires may impact the analyses.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  1. Understand the pay equity movement as it is today, as well as where it is headed based on trends at the state, federal, and international levels.
  2. Learn the fundamentals of a proactive pay equity compliance audit, including what analyses to include, and which pitfalls to avoid.
  3. Know some of the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the pay equity movement, as well as the many reasons why the pandemic has the potential to create unforeseen liabilities in businesses’ compensation structures.
