Comp and Coffee

A special announcement about CompCon! https://compcon.com/

This podcast discusses the importance of effective communication in compensation. It covers topics such as tailoring messages for different levels of the organization, the challenges of using crowdsource data, and the significance of listening to understand objectives. The chapter descriptions highlight the need for transparent communication, engaging strategies, and tailored approaches for executives, managers, and employees.

Findings from Payfactors' roundtable event in Massachusetts, where we discussed the effect salary history ban laws are having on compensation management. Specifically we cover: * These laws are bringing compensation to the front. Your recommendations and data need to be on point. * There are a lot of concerns, both internal to organizations and with the laws themselves. * What’s needed in a big way is a ton of training and messaging for executives, managers, and even employees. * Most compensation management pros thought they were in good shape, until they started to dig. * These laws will invoke positive change. P.S. We are hosting more of these events in 2018 -- maybe we'll be in your city? Tweet at us @shawnlavana and @kaiterosa.

We talk with Emily Martin, General Counsel at the National Women's Law Center (https://nwlc.org/staff/emily-martin-vice-president-and-general-counsel/) about the new salary history laws that have come into play this year.

In the quick introductory podcast, we introduce your hosts, Shawn and Kaite, and set the stage for this brand new show that will discuss all things compensation (and a little HR).
