Resumen del Editor

Most organizations fail to pay their employees properly - not because they don’t want to, but because they don’t approach compensation with a plan. The compensation landscape is changing rapidly. If you don’t pay your employees what they’re worth, not only will your competitors leave you behind, but you’ll also leave yourself open to legal, social, and political backlash.

As an HR professional or manager, how do you navigate the confusing world of compensation?

Pay Matters is your go-to guide for demystifying the art and science of compensation. Step-by-step, David Weaver explains how to perform a detailed market analysis that reveals exactly how much each position in your organization should be paid. You’ll also learn how to develop a pay philosophy specifically tailored to your organization and strike the elusive balance between profit and labor costs. With precisely calibrated base salaries, rewards programs, and enticing incentives, you’ll be able to keep your best employees.

Don’t leave salaries open to the caprices of your organization’s senior leaders. Approach them confidently with a proven methodology. After all, pay matters.

A Fantastic Guide for Compensation Professionals

As a former Human Resources leader who played around in the compensation arena, I don't think I was ever an expert or even knew the basics of compensation management. David Weaver's book, "Pay Matters" is the book I wish I had at the time to help me understand the basics and build my skill set.

If you are a new or active Human Resources leader, this is the book for you to ensure you understand the basics. David writes clearly and easily and makes a potentially challenging topic very easy to understand.

Love It

Full of impactful insights. Does not dribble on and on about theories and instead gives real world applications. I enjoyed this very much.

Must have reference!

Are you an HR Consultant or Business Partner? I highly recommend this audio book, it gives you the tools you need to help your business understand compensation practices in real world language.

Are you a compensation expert? I still recommend, it will help you translate the complex compensation practices for your clients.

The audio book is great. Listen on your commute or while on a walk in the upcoming warm weather. Get the soft cover version too and have a handy reference at your finger tips!

Very basic knowledge

I was very disappointed with the lack of content. For me it was a waste of time. Maybe it would be good for someone at junior level.
