title: Making the numbers work for you: establishing effective compensation.
abstract: It's the time of year that every employer looks to with trepidation--employee evaluation, which will determine individual workers' salaries for the coming year. Besides personal performance, employers must also take into account a number of other factors to ensure they are fairly compensating their employees in a manner that will enable them to retain the best and the brightest. What are their competitors paying? What is the rate of compensation inflation over the years? What "extra perks" make employees more likely to stay on? Knowing these factors can help employers tremendously in maintaining a satisfied and loyal workforce. Each year, the Hospital and Healthcare Compensation Service (HCS) gives home care and hospice providers easy access to this crucial information.
