Create a Competitive Strategy
Why Have a Comp Strategy?We asked thousands of HR and business leaders* about their top challenges in compensation. They said:
1. Retain. They don’t want to risk losing employees by underpaying them, or losing money by overpaying them
2. Attract. To compete for talent, job offers must match the market and the unique factors driving pay for their jobs.
3. Motivate. Drive performance with strategies that reward top performers while aligning with company goals.
4. Confidence. Having the science to back up decisions and conversations with executives and employees.
