Managing Employee Compensation

Minnesota examines employee compensation as a set of choices involving pay levels, performance, benefits and nonmonetary rewards. It suits learners who want to understand how a reward system shapes behavior and perceived fairness. The course’s policy context should be checked against the learner’s own location and organization.

Before you enroll

Apply examples to a fictional or anonymized team. Employment rules, compensation practices and organizational policies vary by location and employer. Check the course context before applying a technique, and seek feedback from people affected by a proposed change.
