Salary review retro: what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next

Salary review season is (mostly) behind us. Now's the time to reflect: What actually worked? What would you never do again? And what are you already planning to change for next time?

In this session, Vaso and Saime will run a retro on their most recent salary review cycle, from navigating tighter regulations and budget constraints, to wrestling with the promotion-compensation relationship, to streamlining processes that felt never-ending.

The discussion will include: 

• Differentiating rewards when regulations and budgets limit your options
• Separating promotions from compensation reviews as an org design decision
• Translating performance into meaningful pay changes within tight constraints
• Shortening review timelines while ensuring actionable feedback

As always, there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from fellow Reward leaders on how best to navigate salary reviews.
