The book’s success has resulted from: ■ Identifying the most significant issues impacting compensation and human resources practitioners ■ Providing the best straightforward, comprehensive, and understandable solutions to deal with issues ■ Presenting the thoughts and research of respected and prestigious compensa- tion leaders ■ Offering unique and innovative approaches not found elsewhere ■ Building on the strong foundation of past editions ■ Imparting the best historical and current compensation tools, methods, and diagnostics for compensation and human resources professionals to align their programs with key issues Each edition of the book has its own novel foundation. The first three editions focused on the evolution of new compensation techniques and methodologies as they applied to the business and social environment of their eras. The fourth edition is based on a framework of compensation diagnostics. It structures prior and cur- rent approaches into a cohesive set of guiding principles that helps practitioners to select the most appropriate compensation methodology. vii Copyright © 2008 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

These include: ■ New strategies for winning the talent wars ■ Addressing the retirement of the baby boomers, the greatest talent manage- ment issue of the twenty-first century ■ Responding to a multicultural, multigenerational workforce ■ The globalization of human capital Thanks to the contributions of 64 compensation specialists, 45 of whom are new authors to The Compensation Handbook, this edition contains new, updated, or revised chapters. This “linkage” to talent management issues provides com- mon threads and a roadmap for developing a comprehensive approach to com- pensation program design and implementation. The fourth edition’s structural integrity is maintained because our readers have expressed their appreciation of consistency when seeking updated information and solutions to compensation issues. We again, as we did for the fourth edition, dedicate this book with apprecia- tion and affection to Milton L. Rock, consummate compensation and business guru, whose vision spearheaded the first through third editions of The Compensation Handbook. Dorothy R. Berger Lance A. Berger
