Webcast:
The role of the corporate executive entails significant risk and responsibility, and as such, organizations must appropriately align their compensation practices to attract, retain and reward the best players. In even the most robust and healthy economic scenario, this process is work intensive and must be creative. These pay practices are even more complicated in tough financial times, when every line item on a budget is scrutinized internally and is subject to shareholder, committee or board review and recommendations.
Yet, if a business is to continue, it must hire and retain leadership. What strategies are innovative employers using to lure top leaders to their executive ranks? In this webcast we'll discuss creative offerings to the executive suite like flexible work schedules, individual and team incentives, pay-for-performance models, short- and long-term approaches, and executive value propositions.

I'm a partner at iFractal LLC, where KnowHR was created. I specialize in organizational communication and have worked with some of the biggest and most prestigious companies throughout the world. My clients have included Comcast, Sears, Kmart, Siemens, Xerox, Nike, ABN-AMRO, Shell, TIAA-CREF, Fisher Scientific, Deutsche Bank, IBM, Guidant, AOL, Sandoz, The Royal Bank of Scotland, SAP, and many, many others. (You didn't think I was prematurely gray, did you? I earned every one of those grey hairs).I grew up on Chicago-style pizza, sipped sweet tea in South Carolina, and relished rijstaffels when I lived in Amsterdam. Basically, I guess you could say I work for food. Or that I like to travel.I've been a professional dog handler, a polymer physicist, and a poet, but quickly realized that "being an artiste + $1.75 wouldn't buy me a cup of coffee at Starbucks." I write. I read. I pay attention. You can find out more about me on LinkedIn, see a summary of the best stories from the 150+ blogs I read daily by looking here, and look at my Flickr photos here. (That's a lot!) If you're curious about what kinds of things I write about besides HR, you can look at my personal blog, which is called, simply, Frank.
