About This Session

Benefits that no one uses, recognition that’s ad-hoc, and comp that confuses.

Sound familiar?

On Jan 15 at 1 PM ET, learn how to design a **total-rewards system** (benefits + recognition + compensation) that employees understand, managers can execute, and leadership can measure. We’ll show how to align rewards with values, embed recognition into daily workflows, and roll out clear comp bands/pay transparency, so you **lift 90-day retention and performance without bloating budget.**

**Key Takeaways**

- **Total Rewards, Simplified:** A practical framework to align benefits, recognition, and comp with business goals.
- **Recognition That Performs:** Always-on kudos and rewards in Slack/Teams that raise engagement ~20%.
- **Benefits People Actually Use:** Nudge-led utilization tactics (mental health, stipends, flex) that fight burnout.
- **Comp That Builds Trust:** Clean bands, pay comms, and manager guides that reduce confusion (and attrition).
- **Dashboards that Matter:** Tie participation, recognition velocity, and benefit utilization to retention and output.
