As an HR practitioner, you may find that you are constantly fighting against leadership in your own organization. Too often business leaders think that the compensation plan is simply an "HR program" and resist creating a compensation plan assuming that it's all about rules that are intended to limit a business leader's authority to make good decisions.

In this strategic session - Stacey Carroll, SPHR, MBA will show you how to communicate about compensation with business leaders in their own language. We'll talk about how to kill the HR lingo - and instead talk business leader to business leader about compensation costs within the organization.

You'll learn how to:

•Communicate the current state of compensation within the company to business leaders, in a way that doesn't seem like another "HR program".
•Introduce compensation plans that are designed to support and reinforce the business leader's objectives, rather than appearing as a hindrance.
•Talk with business leaders about leading edge practices, and dramatic changes that will support the business.
•Earn your seat at the leader's table by supporting meaningful, impactful changes to the company's largest business expense.
Too many organizations have fallen into the same old way of doing compensation while the world has shifted gears. Learn how to influence your company's future by introducing ideas that support your business, and earn you a seat at the table.

Ms. Carroll is an adjunct professor in the College of Business and Economics at Western Washington University and has worked in human resources for the last 12 years at companies such as Nordstrom, Trendwest Resorts, CH2M Hill and Western Washington University.
