Compensation and benefit programs are the
largest expenses in most organizations; in service organizations,
they often represent more than 50% of total costs. In this unique 2
eBook package, leading consultant Bashker D. Biswas helps you
systematically optimize these programs to maximize value,
efficiency, and competitive advantage. In Employee Benefits
Design and Planning, Biswas brings together all the
knowledge you need to make better benefits decisions. He introduces
core principles for ensuring proper financing, funding, compliance,
and recordkeeping; accurate actuarial calculations; and effective
employee communication. Building on these principles, he guides you
through benefits ranging from healthcare and disability insurance
to retirement and cafeteria plans. You'll find up-to-date
discussions of complex challenges, such as the Affordable Care Act
and global benefits planning. Throughout, he offers essential
insights for managing rising costs and risks, while ensuring that
benefits programs improve productivity, reflect best practices, and
align with your organization's strategy and goals. Next, in
Compensation and Benefit Design, Biswas helps HR
professionals bring true financial and accounting discipline to
compensation and benefit design, tightly align talent management to
strategy, and quantify program performance in the language of
finance. Biswas thoroughly explains best-fit practices for superior
program design, demystifies relevant financial and accounting
concepts, and illuminates key connections between HR program
development and GAAP/IFRS accounting requirements. His far-reaching
coverage ranges from integrating compensation and benefits into
Balanced Scorecards to managing expatriate compensation. Biswas
reveals the true financial implications of every element of modern
compensation and benefit programs, from base salaries to stock
incentives, sales compensation to healthcare cost containment.
Perhaps most important, he helps you systematically measure the
value of your investments -- so you can both prove and improve your
performance. Simply put, this collection brings together
unparalleled tools for optimizing compensation and benefits
programs -- whether you're in HR, finance, line-of-business
management, or corporate management.
