Compensation and Benefits That Work
Session Summary:
In a tight labor market, getting compensation right is mission-critical for employers. This practical, data-driven session shows you how to build market-aligned pay ranges, set competitive and equitable new-hire offers, and determine cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) without blowing your budget.

Key takeaways:
