Global Compensation: The First Challenge of International Growth

Join Moderator Laura Maffucci, G-P Senior Director, Global Total Rewards, as she joins Ronii Rizzo, Managing Director at BDO USA, Cleo Valeroso, VP of Global Operations at ZEDEDA, and Michelle Demetrius, Director of Total Global Rewards at Demand Science to discuss the pros and cons of various base pay options for global teams, the best practices to create competitive benefits packages, and the compensation challenges that global employers face. Thanks to digital advances, companies today have access to global talent pools of top-tier candidates. However, companies integrating international employees into their workforce can face organizational challenges. Each country has different labor laws and tax regulations when it comes to designing compliant global compensation packages. HR experts must comply with the local regulations and, at the same time, be conscious of the expectations of candidates according to the local job market.
