PARC Strategic Reward Skills Masterclass
The content of the Masterclass is founded on those areas most frequently reported by RemCo Chairs as essential to effective performance as the Group HR Director or Head of Reward in major companies.
About this Programme
These masterclasses will enable the reward professional to comfortably understand how reward strategy links to business strategy. Throughout this course, the participant will analyse their organisation's reward strategy. Prior to the programme, delegates will be asked to review their
organisation’s strategic business objectives, including as outlined
in the Annual Report, and to assess the alignment between these
objectives and their organisation’s:
approach to talent strategy; reward values and principles; and major group-wide reward plans.
Who Should Attend?
The Masterclass is aimed both at prime succession candidates to
current Heads of Reward in major listed companies, and also at
newly-promoted, or aspiring Corporate HR Directors, who are
seeking to develop a more strategically focused set of reward skills.
Attendees particularly value our simulated Remuneration Committee
session, focused on stakeholder management and the interface role
with the RemCo and Main Board.
