Pay Transparency in Practice: Job Grading & Market Benchmarking
Pay transparency is moving from regulation into day-to-day compensation practice.
If you’re responsible for compensation, you’re probably already dealing with questions like:
How should roles be structured and compared?
How do you explain why one role or employee is paid differently from another?
Are your salary ranges actually aligned with the market?
And how do you prepare for greater pay transparency without creating even more manual work?
This webinar is designed to connect those questions.
Philipp Schuch, Founder & CEO of gradar, will take you through the structural side of compensation: job grading, job architecture and how a clear methodology can help you make pay decisions that are easier to understand, explain and defend.
Nikola Mijailović, CEO & Co-Founder of CompensationX, will then bring in the market side, showing how salary benchmarking and external compensation data can help you validate those structures against what is actually happening across roles, levels and markets.
This session and open discussion will be hosted by Ludovic Coquillet from Ambacia, who will guide the conversation and bring in some of the practical compensation challenges companies are currently facing in the Croatian market.
You’ll get a practical look at:
what EU Pay Transparency means for compensation teams
how job grading and job architecture support more consistent pay decisions
how to connect internal compensation structures with external market data
how benchmarking can support salary ranges and compensation decisions
a short walkthrough of CompensationX 2.0
The session is intended for HR, C&B, Total Rewards and People leaders, as well as anyone working on pay transparency, compensation structures and salary benchmarking.
