If you are at WorldatWork’s Total Rewards 2012 Conference in Orlando next week, please join Susan Brown (Senior Director Compensation, Siemens Corp) and me for our 10 am presentation on Monday, May 21st: Doing More with Less: Reexamining the Business Case for Employee Recognition.
As the title suggests, we will examine how HR leaders can accomplish more through better planning and execution of their employee reward programs.
The Siemens story—one that Madison is very proud to be a big part of—is a great example of how smart HR leaders can accomplish more with rewards and recognition that drive increased efficiency and effectiveness.
Why did we pick this topic? Everyone is under pressure to “do more with less” but too often the focus is on the “with less” part, rather than the “do more” demand. Susan and I—using Siemens’ You Answered program as a real-life case study—will outline how you too can accomplish more.
First, we will talk about effectiveness; discussing why recognition is more important today than it’s ever been and why smart companies are using it to align employee behaviors with brand expectations. Siemens used their program to help employees understand their individual roles in delivering Answers to customers and coworkers alike.
We will also discuss efficiency—and by that I mean the mechanics, the processes and the controls inherent in any recognition program. In that regard, you will learn how Siemens gained the four C’s:
- Compliance, the ability to automatically manage the program’s policies and rules across multiple business sectors;
- Control, a deeper visibility into program activity at both the summary and granular level;
- Consistency across the enterprise, while maintaining a personalized user experience at the business unit level for all stakeholders; and
- Convenience for employees and HR administrators alike by automating all aspects of the program in a seamless, simple and intuitive manner.
