Compensation Is Hitting Its Digital Transformation Moment
Written by Lisa Wallace and Enrique Esclusa, Cofounders & Co-CEOs, Assemble Compensation is experiencing its digital transformation moment. What is the full value of my compensation? How was it determined, and by whom? Am I paid competitively in the market? With the 2022 merit and bonus season behind many of us, and a year of looming economic uncertainty ahead, more employees and companies across America are asking hard questions about compensation than ever before. iStock Attention to what employees are paid for their contributions has skyrocketed in the past several years, as the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted the manner and method with which employees, particularly white collar knowledge workers, show up to and perform their jobs. This shift demands new tools and methods for managing compensation in order for businesses to succeed. We are experiencing compensation’s “Digital Transformation” moment, and it’s long overdue. Compensation and Total Rewards Professionals Are Aging Out of the Workforce The practice of determining what and why a certain employee is paid is usually run as a sub-function under Human Resources. Traditionally called Compensation & Benefits, it has more recently been rebranded to “Total Rewards” to more fully capture non-cash components of employee compensation like […]

The cannabis industry – both domestic and international in scope, and comprised of two substantial subsectors: marijuana and hemp – started last year off strong. Namely, with a splash of high-profile M&A activity in January and February. There was tremendous promise for growing the market. There’s room for winners in the cannabis space, but first will come pain. How long the pain will … [+] getty As we entered second quarter of 2022, the hope for a fruitful Q2 faded. By Q3, it was full-fledged retreat, with many of the industry investment conferences refusing to even consider seminar presentations or panels regarding workouts, receiverships or other proactive measures designed to protect or mitigate the poor economic conditions surrounding the industry and many of its operators.
