A properly designed and communicated annual incentive plan presents a valuable tool for Human Resources professionals, one that creates a strong retention hook for high-performing employees, attracts key talent, and helps execute the company's financial objectives.

Conversely, a poorly designed plan rewards destructive behavior, creates a net loss on a product or service, and proves so confusing that payouts are not understood or worse, considered an entitlement. Learn the fundamentals of the annual incentive design process and get a complete framework for beginning the process. You'll find out how to:

* Identify performance measures that drive company success, and create a link between them and employee behavior
* Explain the implication of threshold, target and maximum performance measure targets
* Define employee's target incentives
* Understand the need for financial modeling and stress testing
