Watch the on-demand webinar

In the past few months, reward practitioners have been a critical partner for business leaders who have been trying to balance keeping their businesses alive and the safety and wellbeing of their employees.  

The initial phase of the Coronavirus crisis was focused on implementing pay freezes and salary reductions in order to survive the recession, and prioritizing the mental and financial wellbeing of employees. The next phase will need to focus on business recovery, getting employees back to work safely, and adapting reward strategies to reflect new budgets and employee expectations.

In this webinar, CURO and a panel of reward experts share advice on overcoming the current and future reward challenges that are developing as a result of the pandemic.
