So your company has finally reached a point where back of the envelope calculations and best guesses are no longer adequate for compensation decisions. You know how critical paying and compensating your employees is for your growing business, yet you’re not sure how to create an actual plan that is accurate and repeatable.

Where do you start when creating a compensation foundation? How to level your employees? How should market data be used to calibrate team members? These are all common questions we hear come up consistently from people leaders at various companies.

To help answer these questions, we partnered with the People Design House, a people operations consultancy, to share best practices in our new interactive ebook on How To Launch Your Compensation Strategy.
