In today's workplace climate, it's important to have the competitive edge with current staff and future employees. A key differentiator to your organization could be kindness.

Session 2

The workforce of today is demanding more transparency around pay than ever before.  Organizations need to understand their compensation philosophy and implement strategies to effectively communicate it.  Explore challenging questions for the organization’s top leadership to consider and how to navigate when these decisions impact the organization’s ability to highly (or competitively) compensate staff in this interactive discussion.  Discover ways to make small steps towards a more transparent pay system and remove doublt from your employees.



Participants will learn:
  • To define their organization’s compensation philosophy.
  • To identify different levels of pay transparency and understand what is most appropriate for your organization.
