Is Your Pay Program Built to Scale or Simply Survive? Insights from Salary.com's 2026 Pay Practices Report

Most HR leaders believe pay is fair. Far fewer believe employees do.

Salary.com's 2026 Pay Practices Report surveyed 525 HR and compensation professionals across 23 industries—and found a 31-point confidence gap that reveals something important: having a pay program isn't the same as having one that works.

Join us for a candid fireside chat unpacking the report's biggest findings and what they mean for organizations trying to build compensation strategies that are durable, not just defensible.

We'll cover:

• Why only 51.4% of organizations have a formal job architecture—and what that costs at scale
• The impact of incomplete job leveling, with 22% of organizations not using it to structure pay
• Where manager readiness breaks down: trained on performance, undertrained on pay conversations
• How gaps in total rewards visibility shape the way employees perceive their compensation
