Today’s compensation benchmarking environment is increasingly complex, with a growing range of surveys, data sources, and tools competing for attention—often without additional budget to support deeper analysis. This session focuses on how executives can make informed, strategic decisions about which compensation data to use and how to align it with their organization’s reward philosophy, workforce needs, industry context, and geographic footprint. The discussion will also address how to integrate multiple data sources, identify meaningful market trends, and translate benchmarking insights into clear, actionable guidance. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on using compensation benchmarking to support talent attraction, retention, and sustainable pay decisions in a dynamic market.
