Webinar: The State of Comp & Culture in 2026

Thursday March 19th, 12pm ET / 4pm GMT

Are you tracking trust, or just cycle time? Do your managers use systems, or do they find workarounds? Is your data ready for AI?

Compensation has moved from being a back-office admin task to top priority for leading organizations, with 93% of organizations now involving Finance, IT, and C-level in compensation decisions. But while its strategic importance has skyrocketed, the legacy tools used to manage comp have not kept up.

Join Vismay Gada, beqom’s Chief Evangelist and Global Head of Financial Services, and Ankur Sharma, VP Total Rewards at Montefiore Health System, as they break down the findings of beqom’s 2026 Compensation and Culture Report. 

They’ll discuss how HR leaders are navigating the shift toward cross-functional compensation strategies, and how you can move from “just surviving the comp cycle” to delivering robust compensation programs that drive engagement, trust, and performance.

📅 Date: March 19th

🕐 Time: 12 - 1 pm ET / 4 - 5 pm GMT

What Vismay and Ankur will cover: 

• The complexity threshold: Why even simple programs are outgrowing current tools and creating hidden operational risks.
• Navigating the new buying committee: How to align C-level, Finance, IT, and HR to secure buy-in for modern compensation infrastructure.
• Manager enablement: Why eliminating spreadsheet workarounds ensures managers make consistent, defensible pay decisions.
• AI in compensation: How to identify where AI can actually provide value in 2026. 
• The new success metrics: Why budget accuracy and employee trust have replaced cycle speed as the gold standards of comp.
