Global Compensation Strategy Workshop
June 20-22, 2023
Washington, D.C., U.S.A.
Our Global Compensation Strategy Workshop provides materials and concepts beyond the fundamentals of local compensation management. Our comprehensive three-day course will focus on compensation strategies and design applicable to HR practitioners managing compensation programs inclusive of global, regional, and national offices – managing compensation for both expatriate/international and local/national staff.
About the Course
Human Resources is often asked to be a strategic partner in delivering the organization’s mission. It is tasked with securing talent, building the organization's workforce, and enabling performance. This is a challenge faced by many global organizations operating in multiple countries tasked with keeping their compensation policies and practices aligned and consistent for all staff.
In the span of three days, our workshop participants will go beyond basic compensation management and will evaluate their existing global compensation policies and programs, and learn ways to adapt and optimize them to their unique markets.

We do recognize that situations may arise which prevent participants from attending workshops they have registered for, but in order to ensure that we deliver high-quality workshops for our clients, we have implemented the following cancellation policy, effective since January 01, 2018.
For cancellations made up to 3 weeks (21 calendar days) before the workshop date, full credit can be carried over to a different training course within 1 year from the day cancellation was announced. (For example, if a participant registers for April 16-18 training workshop, the participant advises cancellation on March 26, workshop credit will be valid until March 25 of the following year.)
For cancellations made up to 2 weeks before the workshop date, 50% of workshop credit can be used for a future training course. Unused credit will only be valid within 1 year from the day cancellation was announced. (For example, participant registers for April 16-18 training workshop, the participant advises cancellation on April 02, 50% of workshop credit will be valid until April 01 of the following year.)

Credits will be valid for one year from the day cancellation was announced (ex. Workshop cancellation is announced on March 12, credits will be valid until March 11 of the following year). Refunds will not be issued if the credit used for a canceled workshop is from a prior workshop credit transfer; however, credit validity will be extended for 6 months from the workshop cancellation date (ex. credit was used to register for April 16-18 training workshop, workshop gets canceled on March 12, credit extension will be valid till September 11 of the same year).
