Enhancing Professional Practice

Leaders must examine how shifts in monetary and non-monetary rewards for work impact business competitiveness, employee engagement, and macroeconomic growth.

ICS contributes to this discourse through expert research and insight, periodic analysis of labor market indicators such as commentaries on the quarterly Employment Cost Index, and professional development training.

ICS serves as a continuing source for cutting-edge solutions through convenings for practitioners and publications, such as the Research for the Real World column in WorldatWork's leading publication, Workspan; Compensation Insight from Cornell ICS (access restricted to subscribing organizations) and the ICS working paper series.
