Compensation & Total Rewards

Do your pay practices reflect your employees’ performance, or are your best and brightest toiling in outmoded pay scales? Does your organization implement a Total Rewards plan that truly compensates employees’ time, talent, efforts and results? What does it take to attract and maintain the market’s top performers? For all organizations, attracting and retaining top talent is key in achieving mission and operating smoothly and efficiently.

You are invited to come learn about today’s compensation and total rewards practices to help you better manage the talent you have, while also attracting the missing pieces to make your organization the best it can be. Presented by Peg Hill of Stanton Group, one of MCN’s cost savings partners, this workshop will help you tap into the pulse of the marketplace through salary surveys and other tools to help set robust and fair compensation and Total Rewards packages. Be sure that your employees are being effectively rewarded for their work! Please register early as this workshop is limited in size.

Employee Benefit Cost Containment
(for small organizations with fewer than 50 employees)

Many nonprofits are feeling like they are caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to providing benefits. Rising costs and shrinking budgets are forcing many nonprofit employers to look at ways to provide quality benefits with fewer resources, yet having a robust employee benefit package is critical in attracting and retaining quality staff.

You are invited to come learn what can be done to contain the rising costs of health care and other employee benefits while still providing for your most essential asset – your workforce. You will see benchmarking and survey data results from other employers to help you understand and create benefits packages commensurate to the market. You’ll also participate in a lively discussion on how other employers have addressed this increasingly difficult issue, to what effect, and how you can best contain and provide employee benefits for reasonable costs. Please register early as this workshop is limited in size.

This workshop will be offered twice, once for smaller organizations with under 50 employees, and once for larger organizations with 50 employees or more.

Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Time: 9 a.m. - noon
Location: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits; 2314 University Ave. W., Ste. 20; St. Paul
Directions and map: Directions and Google Map
Parking: Parking is free in the lot adjacent to the building.
Fee: $45 for MCN members / $65 for nonmembers
