Phil
Devendorf discussed the strategic
importance of the performance management and appraisal process.
Studies clearly show that companies who manage performance effectively
are far more profitable than those who don't. Good performance
management processes provide a solid foundation for good management:
- Set and
communicate clear expectations. This requires that expectations be
defined at the position and individual level versus the "one
size fits all" appraisal systems in use today.
- Provides the
tools and flexibility to monitor and document performance
throughout the performance period, and to edit goals to adjust
for changes in expectations. This should be the baseline from
which feedback is given.
- Appraisals and
feedback should feed employee development plans to improve
performance.

management.
Terry
Satterfield presented
"Paying
with Purpose" describing
the strategic use of pay to most effectively and efficiently attract,
retain, and motivate employees. To Pay
with Purpose organizations must consider the primary role of
each component of Total Pay (Base Pay, Benefits, Variable Pay,
Recognition). Base Pay and Benefits are “to play” –their
role is to attract and retain quality employees. An organization
must have a target market strategy and manage Base Pay around that
strategy in order to attract quality employees while avoiding the cost
of overpayment. Variable Pay and Recognition are “to win”
–each of these forms of pay plays an important role in driving and
reinforcing performance that makes a difference. Strategic
application of all four components of Total Pay is critical to achieving
success through people.

Scott Warrick is one of Ohio's most popular
speakers using his own unique, practical, entertaining and humorous
style. Scott applies over 20 years of Human Resource Management
experience to tell you how to use this information IMMEDIATELY!
Scott Warrick stressed the importance of
understanding the law to "do what you want to do." Too many
lawyers simply scare their clients into doing nothing…which is absurd.
Scott's key message was that "ANYTHING CAN BE MANAGED, IF YOU
SIMPLY KNOW THE LAW AND APPLY HUMAN RESOURCE KNOW-HOW."
