Description

Why should companies rethink compensation strategies?

 In this episode of the Amazing Teams podcast, hosts Doug and Una sit down with Lola Han, founder and CEO of Kamsa, a company dedicated to helping businesses create data-driven compensation strategies. 

 Lola, a seasoned expert with experience at companies like Zendesk, shares her insights into how organizations can structure fair, equitable compensation that cultivates employee growth and satisfaction. The conversation dives into the nuances of compensation philosophy, pay transparency, and how to keep employees motivated and appreciated in the long term.

 

Key Takeaways:

●      The importance of pay transparency: A phased approach to sharing compensation philosophies helps avoid confusion, ensuring employees understand how pay is determined and when increases or promotions can be expected.

●      Compensation as a foundation for employee satisfaction: Fair pay is the groundwork for appreciation, but recognition through small, regular gestures is key to keeping employees engaged and valued.

●      Creative perks don’t substitute fair compensation: Unique perks may be fun, but without fair compensation, they fall flat. Lola discusses the role of meaningful perks within an overall compensation strategy.
