Show Them the Money! Improving Employee Total Compensation Literacy, Featuring Insights from Autozone
We all know that pay is only part of the equation when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. In fact, many workers say they would take a job that exchanged lower pay for better benefits and perks. But "better" is often a matter of awareness, and awareness is often lacking. This not only means your efforts go unnoticed, but also that your employees are missing out on things that could improve their lives. In this session, we explore various ways you can improve total compensation literacy among your employees. Hear best practices from AutoZone and get inspiration for how you can effectively showcase the full value of everything you offer as an employer.
