We can learn a lot from the great ones, but they are not always willing to share. So don't miss the rewards lessons in this World at Work video interview with Tracy Kofski, VP Compensation and Benefits at General Mills. The General Mills that was just named to Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For and Most Admired Company again in 2012.
OK, we may not all have General Mills-style budgets or rewards challenges -- they have about 17,000 US and 18,000 non US employees -- but we have the same need to get complex communications across well. Tracy is very generous with their "lessons learned."
Think the title of this blog is my own professional rant? Take 7 minutes to watch this video. Leave with a more effective compensation strategy. I guarantee it.
Want to find out more details? Tracy shared those with her interviewer, Marcia Rhodes from World at Work, too. In my experience, other Fortune 500s are following similar practices. Now you can, too, and benefit from their insights.
