KAIZEN Compensation Management Module 2 - Salary Structure Design (Hornbook)

This module is designed to provide participants a basic know-how of the impact of salary design on compensation:

• Computation of salary range overlap
• Conceptual and practical aspects of overlap
• Application of compensation formulae and interpretations
• Salary progression analysis
• Concept of individual equity
  

The course which I attended, Kaizen's Module 2, was very enlightening and provided me with the knowledge of salary structure calculations. It opened up ideas and ways on how calculation can be done using different methods. This will be very helpful during negotiations and most importantly to understand what management is talking about during salary negotiation..

This course is interesting and I strongly believe that it will benefit me in my work. I highly recommend this course to people who are not familiar with Salary Structure Design.

The Compensation Management Module is a well-structured course. It gives a heads-up to those like me to confidently do the necessary negotiations for our CA for fellow workers. The formulae and notes given to us are useful for future applications. The course facilitator shared his best knowledge with theory and practice.
