As the struggle for top talent has evolved, organizations are becoming more professional in their approach to compensation and pay program design. They are seeking more and better data, which has lead to the proliferation of compensation surveys, each with its own methodology and set of participating companies. As compensation professionals engage with these surveys, certain questions always come up:
What is the best approach to matching my organization's jobs to the survey? How much of the descriptions need to match? What if my organization has more or fewer levels than the survey?
Much of the common wisdom is being challenged, and today we invite Stacey Morgan and Stephanie Friedman of Culpepper and Associates to share their insights on market data. They will highlight some commonly held beliefs HR and Compensation practitioners have about market pricing and examine the validity of those beliefs from the survey provider perspective.
