How do employees know to trust your company? You have to prove it. Join us to hear how two companies did just that using data, analytics, and transparency to build trust, make progress toward goals, increase efficiencies and even save money.
To quote Lou Gerstner, former CEO and credited with rebuilding IBM, “Culture isn't just one aspect of the game; it is the game.” In today’s people-first economy, the way we engage and motivate our employees has changed.

Join Ross Elmsly from beqom to learn how other companies are overcoming these problems and changing their Reward and Performance programs. We’ll discuss the potential of what we are calling “Pay Intelligence”. We’ll review how to really close pay gaps and improve pay equity, drive personal and company performance, and how to reward your people your way.
