Whether employers like it or not, greater pay transparency is the future. So why do HR leaders need to start embracing pay transparency rather than fearing it?   Lulu Seikaly, a senior corporate employment attorney with Payscale, sheds light on the topic in a candid conversation with Hebba about the impact of pay transparency laws on employees, the challenges employers face when implementing them, and the future of pay transparency on a global and local scale. How has Gen Z become the poster child for greater pay transparency practices? Why are employers so darn afraid to post salary ranges? And should employees who live in high-cost-of-living areas earn more than their coworkers?  Lulu chats with Hebba about the rights that employees have in relation to pay transparency and offers advice for companies navigating these laws. She also explains how pay transparency is vital to building a better workplace culture and one of the foremost things HR departments can do to create change for underrepresented groups.  Join in on this informative and thought-provoking discussion as Lulu and Hebba explore the evolving landscape of pay transparency and its implications for organizations and employees.   The Predictive Index (PI) is an award-winning talent optimization platform that aligns business strategy with people strategy for optimal business results.

Compensation comes in all shapes and sizes, but no matter what your program looks like, it is fundamental to your relationship with your employees. This is why businesses are learning how to make their comp programs even more competitive in order to retain their best performers.“Compensation and transparency are a journey, not a destination. You constantly have to be thinking about and revisiting the different ways in which you're not transparent or the things that, as an HR professional, you might think, ‘Well, everybody just kind of logically knows that, right?' And the truth is, that's often not the case,” says Lexi Clarke, Chief People Officer at Payscale.In this episode, Lexi sheds light on what makes for an effective compensation program. Along the way, she shares how her company transitioned to being fully remote and how they've handled their comp program with a global workforce.In this episode, you will gain insights into:- Practicing transparency is your form of currency with your employees- Regularly looking at current comp market data is crucial for providing competitive packages- Going remote allows you to re-invest money into developing company culture across several different locationsTune in on your go-to podcast app to understand how to elevate your company's compensation programs to retain top talent.Resources:- Lexi Clarke- Payscale- Ted Blosser- WorkRamp

Sara Hillenmeyer, Payscale's Director of Data Science, and Lulu Seikaly, Senior Corporate Attorney @ Payscale, join Ruth & Russ to discuss a recent article about two brothers who both drive for Uber. The brothers recently conducted an experiment. They opened their Uber apps while sitting in the same room, and tested which brother could earn more money to do the same work. They found that Uber showed them nearly identical jobs but offered to pay one of them a little better. The siblings could only guess why. Had Uber's algorithm somehow calculated their worth differently and how did they do that?   We discuss this topic and the broader implications of algorithmic pay.

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Jim Rowe. Jim , a marketing veteran of 45 years, started in market research after receiving his BS in Marketing from Fairfield University, CT. Jim has held client and agency positions including: Brand Manager, Coke; VP Marketing, Cutty Shark; President of Promotion and InterMark Divisions, Saatchi Howard Marlboro Group; plus 30+ years as an owner of Manhattan Marketing Ensemble then Jim Rowe Marketing.   Jim saw weak problem solving & communication skills among recent grads. He wasn't alone. In a PayScale study, 60% of managers say grads lack problem solving skills. 40% say they can't write. Yet, 80% of grads say they're proficient in both. A “skills gap.” A Gallup / Inside Higher Ed study shows 96% of Chief Academic Officers say their college was effective at preparing students for work. Only 33% of managers agreed. A bigger “skills gap.” Cost to companies is lower productivity and required remedial training. Therefore, Jim wrote Get Your Ducks In A Rowe. Avoiding a traditional business ‘writing' book, and inspired by Who Moved My Cheese, Jim wrote a fable that's easy to Read, Retain, and Replicate to solve problems and generate Results. Book 1, Business Writing & Communication teaches the 10-step formula to Think, Write, Present and Sell more effectively. Book 2, Learn The A-D-A-P-T-E-R Method of Strategic Business Communication (4/22), teaches the holistic approach to critical thinking, communication and execution. News about the issue is so low it's below the radar, but it's a national crisis. Current solutions aren't working. Jim's focus is to change that. $1/book goes to NWP.org.   Learn more and connect with Jim Rowe by visiting him on   Website : https://www.jimrowemarketing.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-rowe-8751166/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/songislandband/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Song-Island-Band-639662422758350 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovetheislandfamily/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovetheislandfamily       Be sure to follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/to_growth on Facebook: facebook.com/Road2Growth   Subscribe to our podcast across the web: https://www.theenriquezgroup.com/blog Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2Cdmacc iTunes: https://apple.co/2F4zAcn Castbox: http://bit.ly/2F4NfQq Google Play: http://bit.ly/2TxUYQ2 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKnzMRkl-PurAb32mCLCMeA?view_as=subscriber   If you are looking to be a Guest on Podcasts please click below  https://kitcaster.com/rtg/  For any San Diego Real Estate Questions Please Follow Us at web: www.TheEnriquezGroup.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKnzMRkl-PurAb32mCLCMeA or Call : 858 -345 - 7829 Recently reduced properties in San Diego County * Click **** bit.ly/3cbT65C **** Here* ****************************************************************************

Highlights [00:28] - Tackling mental health among the team members of your organization. [03:05] - How every salesperson should deal with rejection. [04:34] - Knowing that you are good enough. [06:15] - Why every sales professional should have a trusted advisor.  [09:22] - Identifying if you are in a toxic work environment. [11:05] - Dealing with a sales manager or leader who doesn't support you. In this episode of the Transformed Sales Podcast, I will address the issue of mental health in sales. According to The National Survey of Drug Use and Health, sales is the 11th top profession for depression and mental illness. And in a recent survey by PayScale, 73% of respondents rated the Sales Account Manager role as “highly stressful,” ranking it second on their full list of stressful careers. If you're in sales, you've most likely experienced some sort of stress, anxiety, or mental burnout. Considered a “top performer?”  Those statistics double as pressure to hit higher goals increases. Results-based careers often rank at the top of these lists because of the constant pressure, lack of control, or unpredictable and long hours needed to find success. Which makes people performing in these roles more susceptible to experiencing things like anxiety, depression, and just overall mental burnout. To help you hedge yourself from all that, I'll share my expertise on how you can deal with rejection, feeling like you're not enough, being in a toxic work environment, and so much more. Stay tuned! Quotes: “Our mental health, as a sales professional, gets hit daily” - Wesleyne “You have to recognize that rejection is a typical part of sales” - Wesleyne “You have the power to change your career. You have the power to change your mental health and stability if you are in a toxic workplace. You speak up” - Wesleyne “It is so important for you to be able to show up to work each and every day and feel that you are in a mentally, emotionally, and physically stable environment” - Wesleyne Connect with Wesleyne Greer: Wesleyne's Website - https://transformedsales.com/ Wesleyne on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wesleynegreer/ Wesleyne on Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/wesleynegreer Wesleyne on Twitter - https://twitter.com/wesleynegreer Email Her at wesleyne@transformedsales.com
