Radical Compensation: Are We Going to Pay a Price?

Join Pearl Meyer from 10:00-11:05 a.m. for a discussion around the unprecedented time of workforce disruption we are currently in. Wage inflation across all compensation elements and at all levels of an organization is stunning. The seemingly permanent work-from-home option for many has unlocked new and far-reaching opportunities for both employees and employers.

Retirement rates and general non-participation in the labor market remains high, while engagement is low. Further, as companies process engagement survey data, compensation is frequently in the top three areas of dissatisfaction. Some companies are reacting by adopting higher than median compensation philosophies, extremely large at-hire grants, immediate vesting, and increased differentiation amongst different populations within the organization and doing so without a clear understanding of how that may affect their workforce as a whole in the long-term.
