Comp and Coffee

Mark Szypko joins us. Mark lead total rewards at Magic Leap and Avid, and has recently joined Fresenius Medical. Mark stopped by to chat about budgeting for raises, including:   * Making sure that they're in line with your compensation philosophy * How you think differently about 3% raises * What happens if you get stuck with the 3% budget? * What other strategies shift the conversation?   If you like these kinds of talks, join us in Oct in SF for CompCon. www.compcon.com

In this episode we dive into great 1:1 meetings. Critical to everyone, but especially critical as we want to better communicate the value of great compensation management.   We're joined in this episode by Courtney Bigony, Director of People Science at 15five. We discuss:   * Why should you hold one-on-one meetings, and what goals you should set for them * How to stay away from the status update one-on-ones * Why your first one-on-one with any manager or employee is different (and what to do about it) * How great one-on-ones can impact your team, department, and the business

In this episode of Comp + Coffee we talk about salary compression. What is it? Why does it happen? And what can compensation pros do about it?

In this episode we discuss the value of college degrees, especially as they relate to the rise in tuition in the United States. We also talk about what this means for compensation managers. 

In this episode we welcome Bryan Briscoe, senior director of compensation at Marriott. With Bryan we chat about stepping up your reporting and visualization game. Of course, much of what we can report on comes down to effectively communicating, so we spend a good bit of today's conversation on that, too.  

We talk a lot about ways to map to business needs on this podcast, but today we thought we'd take it beyond just talking.   In today's podcast we cover which books have most influenced members of the Comp + Coffee and Payfactors teams. And we cover a wide range of topics, not just business-y books!   If you find this interested and want to get in on a Comp + Coffee book club, drop us an email at coffee@payfactors.com.
