1 Talent and Reward Academy Be a future ready HR professional

2 Introduction Meet the challenge of an increasingly strategic HR role to navigate business in today s new, uncertain economy It is a fact that HR and Reward professionals are being challenged to take an increasingly strategic role in helping their businesses navigate through ongoing economic uncertainty. In the current economic context, it has become imperative for HR professionals to effectively manage costs and ensure maximum return on investment. To successfully achieve this, HR teams need to ensure that they have the right skills and experience in place to deliver effective people programmes. A critical component of this is being able to understand the respective roles of talent and reward management programmes within a strategic HR framework, and how these can be integrated to deliver the people strategy. Given the above context and client requests, we are pleased to announce the launch of our globally acclaimed Talent and Reward Academy (T&R Academy) in India to provide HR Professional Development Programmes. The programmes will focus on combining essential concepts, practical experience, consulting frameworks and real-world examples that will help participants apply the learning in their daily work. Each module is delivered by combining fundamental principles with practical tools and techniques, drawing extensively from real-life case studies both from within Towers Watson and the wider industry. For our introductory modules, we will focus on the basic building blocks for HR like - job evaluation and grading, compensation and incentive plan design, developing competencies and defining talent assessment frameworks. The module workshops will span two days and provide participants with the applied tools & skills most relevant to take on current and future business challenges. With workshops being conducted in two major cities (Gurgaon and Mumbai), it provides an opportunity for building a common understanding of concepts and application amongst team members of an organisation across locations. In order to facilitate interactive learning, these modules will have only a small number of participants in each session. You can choose to attend any one or more modules depending on the skills you wish to master or attend all three and set the platform to being a skilled HR Practitioner. Either way, completing these modules will help add more value to your role and boost you career. Each module will be two full days and lunch and refreshments will be provided to all participants.
