IDS PAY PLANNING FOR 2012 CONFERENCE

Will stronger economic growth and lower rates of inflation produce a more positive outlook for pay strategies in 2012? Or will there still be uncertainty and an atmosphere of austerity...

The recent recession has made life difficult for both companies and employees. 2011 has seen a movement towards economic recovery, but companies are still treading cautiously, especially in the areas of employee rewards and pay planning.
