Compensation strategy is outpacing infrastructure in 2026.
With pay transparency laws now covering 40% of the US workforce, pressure is mounting to demonstrate fairness and empower managers to make defensible pay decisions. Yet, many organizations are struggling with outdated systems that simply can't support modern compensation demands.
We surveyed 178 US compensation, HR, and finance leaders to identify the trends reshaping compensation strategy. Download our free report to learn about how:
- Cross-functional buy-in is the new standard: 93% say compensation software decisions now involve the C-suite, IT, and finance, linking pay directly to broader business outcomes.
- Spreadsheets are failing: 34% cite manual, spreadsheet-heavy systems as a top pain point that limits their strategy.
- AI readiness depends on governance: 56% see strong potential for AI automation, but 52% require strict data privacy safeguards before adopting it.
Inside, you'll also get expert insights from beqom leadership, including:
- Why pay decisions can no longer remain a back-office function (Vismay Gada, Chief Evangelist).
- The two critical questions every team must ask before adopting AI (Clare Bonham, Chief Product Officer).
