Personal Details

Bio

I am the Director, Total Rewards at DataRobot, with 15 years experience in compensation and total rewards.

I have worked in multiple industries, and have managed all aspects of compensation (benchmarking, surveys, salary ranges, bonus, long term incentives, exec comp, M&A, etc) for companies with employees across the globe.

If Pay Transparency is the Question, Benchmarking is the answer

Pay transparency is coming in two big ways:
- First, more and more states, provinces, and countries are requiring companies to share salary ranges on job postings.
- Second, with the increasing prevalence of websites that share detailed salary data and ranges available to employees, companies have to be prepared to share this data, explain where this data comes from, and more importantly why employees are paid where they are against this range.

I will dig into why this topic is important to you and your company, how will this impact you, what you can do about it, and what does benchmarking have to do with all of this?

Lastly, the fun part, are there any positives to pay transparency? (Spoiler alert, Yes!)
