    As an employee once, this resonates so much. Now as an employer, we apply and embody these principles in our business to create and foster a culture of transparency.

    These recommendations are spot on. Equity-transparency should drive pay and compensation strategy, win-win!

    I've been talking about this TEDx Talk for days and it's a good one to delve into. Straightforward and to the point, all recommendations resonate but #3 in particular for me. Creating a win/win (compensation) culture in any organizational structure inevitably benefits both sides of the table. If companies want to recruit and retain top talent, a re-evaluating how the compensation structure is "sold" should be a top priority.

    • @rebeccaeahmed
      @rebeccaeahmed 2 роки тому

      Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! So excited to hear how your organization is embracing each recommendation- especially #3!
