About This Event

In the words of compensation & benefits specialist Robert Mosley: “Establishing and managing a reward structure is one of the critical cornerstones of any HR department, and it is extremely important to design the right reward packages that support the business goals and objectives, and attract, motivate and retain the right calibre of employees for the business.”

When you put it like that, it can sound like a daunting task. But these sentences really highlight the importance of reward in organisations. As a reward specialist, you have a lot of responsibility, and it is important to keep up-to-date with what other firms are doing and to keep reviewing your reward system to see if it is still appropriate.

What’s more, the economies in the GCC are growing rapidly, inflation is widespread and the US dollar is dropping. The labour market is tight. These conditions mean it’s increasingly difficult to attract and retain staff. So your reward system is probably more important than it has ever been before. It is against this background that IIR has developed the 12th Annual Compensation & Benefits Forum which will be held from 8 – 12 June 2008, at the JW Marriott Hotel in Dubai.

This Forum will bring together an experienced faculty of compensation & benefits specialists to discuss the hot issues and offer possible solutions to the challenges. Through a mixture of presentations, workshops, panel sessions and discussions you will hear from top companies like Microsoft, Dubai Holding, Vodafone, TNS Middle East and Arc International.

Make sure that you are part of the 12th Annual Compensation & Benefits Forum – the must-attend event for reward professionals. As well as best practice case studies, you will have the chance to explore reward issues with specialist compensation & benefits consultants who have wide-ranging experience and expertise.
