Reward Hour May 2025: How to design Rewards for a diverse Gen Z workforce

A one-size-fits-all approach to compensation doesn't work.

Isha Smith knows this all too well from her extensive experience in compensation and benefits, including her current role leading global Total Rewards at SoundCloud.

It’s become clear that Gen Z and millennial perspectives on meaningful work and compensation differ considerably from previous generations – which will shape future strategies for all companies as workforce demographics evolve.

Isha’s experience working with creative tech companies whose employee bases trend younger and more diverse means she has unique insights into this challenge and opportunity.

In our May Reward Community Office Hours, Isha will join Vaso to discuss how she reflects these unique workforce dynamics in compensation strategies that drive both business results and employee engagement.

We'll explore:

• How Gen Z employees' priorities for work are shifting – and what that means for a Rewards strategy aligned with business needs
• Key considerations when designing total rewards structures for diverse, younger workforces
• Approaches to pay equity across diverse demographics
• How to measure the business impact of innovative Rewards strategies

Plus, there'll be plenty of time for your own questions too.
