Bonus: The 6 Dimensions of Compensation
Benj Miller, McKenzie Decker, and Jonathan King introduce the concept of the Six Dimensions of Compensation and discuss its development and application. Financial compensation is just one aspect of compensation and other dimensions, such as feeling valued, having meaningful work, and having work-life balance, are equally important. Learn the importance of having conversations around these dimensions and using the assessment tool to facilitate those discussions.
Takeaways:
Financial compensation is just one aspect of overall compensation.
Having conversations around these dimensions can lead to a better understanding of what employees value and need.
The assessment tool can facilitate these conversations and provide insights for both individuals and organizations.

Start your day with clarity! As leaders, we have countless things on our mind: things we need to do, things we’re not doing, problems we need to solve, new exciting ideas––all jotted down in that worn out mental notebook we keep in our heads.
But, sometimes leaders and entrepreneurs simply need to step away from the mental clutter––sometimes we don’t need the notebook, we just need a sticky note––a simple reminder along the way to help us gain clarity and control of our business.
That’s why we created a new FREE resource called The 261. As you may know, there are 261 work days in the calendar year. So, we have mapped out the entire year with daily micro thoughts and micro actions––sticky notes––to help keep the ball moving forward in your personal life as a leader and for the sake of your business.
If you want to start your day with clarity and receive a short, helpful thought to jumpstart your leadership, please go to The261.com and sign up!
