INTRODUCTION

HR professionals and compensation managers are under increasing pressure to provide evidence-based solutions. As data aggregation technologies and access improve, leadership and employees expect greater accuracy and precision in compensation decisions. However, navigating KPIs, formulas and success metrics in compensation can be complex and challenging.

This course empowers you to master compensation analytics, enabling you to analyse KPIs, set pay rates, develop salary ranges, assess fairness, and ensure compliance using data-driven strategies.

It covers everything from gathering, collecting, and analysing data to making sound compensation and rewards decisions.

You will master how to use data analysis to craft a compelling narrative that you can share with others in your organisation.
