A practical guide to transforming your next comp cycle

Compensation cycles are complex—and often chaotic. But what if each cycle could actually get easier? That’s the goal of beqom’s Compensation Cycle Post-Mortem Playbook. Built from real-world experience, this step-by-step guide offers a proven framework for conducting effective post-mortems that fuel smarter, more efficient compensation rounds year after year.

Download the guide to learn how to turn insights from your last cycle into better outcomes next time. Some of the highlights include:

  • Why comp cycle post-mortems are crucial for continuous improvement.
  • The three key pillars of effective reviews: People, Process, and Technology.
  • A comprehensive checklist to identify gaps, pain points, and opportunities.
  • Real-life success story of a global bank modernizing compensation operations.
  • How to build action plans that drive impact—without adding to your to-do list.

We created this guide to help HR and compensation teams take full advantage of the post-cycle window, making reflection more strategic and less stressful. With this playbook, you’ll gain the tools and insights to streamline your next round, strengthen governance, and ensure alignment across stakeholders.
