Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
The presenter was thorough and gave insight to her own personal experience. She provided resources that could be utilized as references and recommended compensation sources and surveys. She also covered information based on your industry (e.g. if not government organization should not use specific surveys for this industry). She provided a lot of insight on how to begin the process of assessing your compensation philosophy. Good for those beginning to look at compensation or wanting to evaluate current practices and as refresher of updated information to consider. Also, for those new to compensation.
