Pay discussions can be difficult due to secrecy, cultural norms and fear of comparisons. Employees rely on flawed data and are not fully informed when it comes to complex compensation structures, while leaders and managers are frequently unprepared to address concerns about pay equity, discrepancies and strategy with confidence. How are leading companies tackling these challenges?
Pay transparency goes beyond simply sharing salary ranges. It requires clear, confident and credible communication. This webinar brings together Total Rewards leaders with bold perspectives to unpack the real challenges of pay conversations, from managing misaligned expectations to navigating tough questions about pay equity and strategy. Learn from real-world examples of communication missteps and gain proven techniques that help managers and leaders discuss pay with transparency, empathy and accuracy to move from just transparency to trust.
Our expert panel will explore strategies to:
- Overcome discomfort and secrecy around compensation
- Clearly communicate the rationale behind pay discussions
- Bridge the gap between employee expectations and actual pay standards
- Equip managers for transparent, data-driven conversations with empathy and fairness
Join us to gain actionable insights and practical tools that will transform pay conversations into opportunities for trust and engagement.
