The American Compensation Association (ACA) has become WorldatWork, Integrated solutions for total rewards — the leading global association dedicated to knowledge leadership in disciplines associated with attracting, retaining and motivating employees . Executive director of WorldatWork Anne Ruddy said: Our new name reflects how the organisation has evolved up to now, and looks forward to what the profession will hold in the future. Focus on total rewards In its 45-year history, the ACA has built a reputation as a leading provider of knowledge and certification programmes to reward professionals across the United States and Canada. Ruddy assured the 25,000-strong membership that the expanded focus on total rewards will help to broaden the information it provides. The name WorldatWork tells people we're so much more than compensation and benefits. We've expanded our focus to include total rewards, we have become a truly worldwide organisation, said Ruddy. In this job market, employers want to know why someone stays or goes. The answer lies beyond simply the level of compensation and benefits offered, but includes the 'work experience' an employee is faced with. WorldatWork is now poised to address this fluid and somewhat intangible component to help our members and other HR professionals make smart choices to attract, motivate and retain quality employees.
