Human Resources Breakout: The Latest Information on Salary Administration, Salary Grades, The Competitive Market Environment & Organization Chart Planning
During this breakout session we focus specifically on HR challenges in today’s banks. We focus on the details surrounding salary administration and salary grades that help advance the sophistication and strategy surrounding compensation administration at all levels of the organization. The discussion includes the current competitive market and also works through interactive organizational chart planning to help you plan the right organizational structure to support the growth goals of your institution. Each participant walks away with ideas to assist them with being strategic with their compensation dollars and organizational chart planning.

Director Breakout: Director Compensation, Director Recruitment, CEO Succession & Compensation Committee Best Practices
Board of Director and compensation committee-focused discussions for attracting and compensating current and incoming board members.

Incentive Plan Design Process
During this session we walk participants through the process of designing a holistic incentive plan for your bank to attract and reward the right behaviors for overall success. This session covers the process steps, industry trends and key decision-making points that help create an effective incentive plan. Participants are provided with the tools to either assess their current plan design versus market or begin the performance-based incentive plan design process themselves.

4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Executive Compensation & Mission Critical Retention Strategies
In our final session of the workshop we focus on the executive-specific total compensation package to ensure your bank’s top leadership is fairly rewarded compared to their industry peers. We assess all parts of the total compensation package (salary, cash incentives, equity-based incentives, retirement focused compensation, perquisites and benefits). We discuss market trends surrounding all areas of total compensation and focus on what each component is trying to accomplish. Participants also receive a step-by-step guide to analyzing your retention strategies that are aimed at lowering turnover, strengthening culture and making your bank a career destination.
