This panel is gonna dive deep into the chill currents of this data ocean. We'll hang on some corduroy waves and discuss different kinds of comp data – from traditional surveys, to payroll data, to public sources, up to and including highly-specialized reports – and figure out what makes the most sense for your workforce, keeping in mind that most comp teams aren't able to catch extra budget.

We'll explore ways to make sense of those wild data sets, spot the gnarly trends, and turn those insights into totally righteous compensation moves. We're talking about blending different data sources like a master mixer, adjusting for those crazy market swells, dropping some wisdom on the big kahunas, and using your benchmarking data to bring in awesome talent, keep your current crew stoked, and keep your overall comp looking totally righteous in this ever-changing ocean. So get ready to hang ten with your comp data!
