Magic in the Room #114: Disruptive Compensation
August 9, 2022
In this episode of Magic in the Room, Chris, Hannah, and Luke make the case that the traditional compensation formula of "wage + cost of benefits + cost of recognition programs" is inadequate for organizations that want to provide meaningful employment. Leaders must be willing to think about compensation in disruptive ways to attract and retain employees by using a new formula, "wage + cost of benefits + recognizing your needs." Recognizing people's needs means listening and being creative in ensuring employees' well-being.
