Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dena Upton, Chief People Officer at Advisor360°
Q: What tools or data do you rely on to measure pay equity and ensure fair compensation across the organization?
We rely on external benchmarking, HRIS platforms like Rippling for consistent pay modules, and regular analysis of compensation bands, with a focus on making pay practices transparent and aligned with performance and skills development.
Dena Upton, Chief People Officer at Advisor360°
Q: How do you measure the impact of transformative employee experiences related to compensation and benefits?
Metrics include engagement surveys, pulse checks, attrition in relation to compensation changes, and recruitment metrics like time-to-fill and offer acceptance, all analyzed in the context of regional market data and evolving comp philosophy.
Dena Upton, Chief People Officer at Advisor360°
Q: What have you seen as a key change moving from attracting talent to transforming lives through compensation and benefits?
The shift toward providing comprehensive total rewards—such as equity, liquidity events, and the ability to fund family needs—combined with genuine pay transparency, creates an environment where employees feel valued and empowered to pursue long-term goals beyond their current role.
Steven Slutsky Company, Head of Global Total Rewards
Q: What concrete steps have you taken to move from attracting talent to transforming lives through compensation and benefits?
We've redesigned pay structures to emphasize fairness and transparency, improved communication strategies beyond emails, implemented benefits like student loan matching, and used data and governance to demonstrate the ROI of higher pay or better benefits in reducing churn and increasing retention.
Steven Slutsky Company, Head of Global Total Rewards
Q: How do you see AI changing the way organizations measure and improve financial wellness and pay equity?
AI is a powerful enabler for data-driven insights and self-service access to information, but it should not replace human judgment. It helps pull the numbers, surface trends, and automate reporting, while humans interpret the results and make the final decisions.
