You've spent weeks developing a Total Rewards recommendation. You've analyzed the data, weighed the options and prepared your business case. But once your proposal reaches the executive team, the decision isn't yours to make. What happens behind those closed doors?

In this interactive simulation, you'll take a seat at the executive table and experience a rewards decision from a completely different perspective. Working in small groups, attendees will assume the roles of CEO, CFO, Chief People Officer, Chief Legal Officer and Total Rewards Director, each with different priorities, constraints and information. Together, you'll navigate a challenging rewards renewal scenario and work toward a decision.

As the exercise unfolds, you'll discover how competing priorities influence executive decisions, what information leaders need before approving a recommendation and why a compelling rewards strategy doesn't always translate into organizational support.

You'll leave with a better understanding of how to anticipate executive concerns, frame recommendations around business priorities and build stronger cases for the rewards initiatives you want to advance.
