Scale It Right: How to Handle the Complexities of Growth

TriNet and Salary.com do a deep dive on the latest issues around inflation, market pay trends like higher wages and wage compression, new pay equity and wage transparency legislation.

You’ll get insights on current “macro trends” impacting small and medium-size businesses (SMBs):

Flexible work environment: How do you compensate when employees work remotely from states where cost of living is lower than the one your business is in? Learn the value of giving employees choices and why over-communicating is key.

The Great Resignation: In 2021 alone, 68 million people left their jobs. Find out the powerful ways to compensate and retain great employees by investing it them—and why much of what makes them happy may not be tied to financial rewards.

Inflation: Inflation is the highest it's been since 1981, putting extraordinary pressure on organizations. How should SMBs adapt? Find out how to plan for short-term compensation in trying times.

Discover the value—and necessity—of transparent compensation, honest employee-employer conversation and why a shift in work-life prioritization can turn a philosophy into a workable policy. This webinar is a can’t-miss for any SMB leader who is facing current challenges around today’s pay trends.

Market Dynamics Impacting Compensation in 2022

The pandemic has challenged small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in numerous ways, including the need to ensure employee safety, facilitate remote work, and deal with shifting demands and expectations from customers and employees. Other obstacles—employee burnout, labor shortages, and economic uncertainties—have also emerged, leaving SMB leadership and employees somewhat dazed and confused.

The pandemic has prompted these businesses to rethink how they operate and what they prioritize. SMBs recognize that to thrive, they must become more resilient and agile, and that they must devise longer-term strategies and align their priorities with their investment. Among 300 SMB executives surveyed by Harvard Business Review-Analytic Services (HBR-AS), 71% have already made changes as a result of the pandemic to ensure they can better respond to future business disruptions.

In this HBR-AS webinar, Alex Clemente will share insights from this HBR-AS survey about challenges SMBs face and actions SMBs are taking. He will then discuss with Michael Mendenhall, SVP and Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at TriNet, what SMBs must do to become more resilient, including:

• What allowed some SMBs to adapt to the pandemic’s challenges better than others
• How expectations are shifting for customers and employees
• What it means to cultivate a strategy of resilience and how to do it
• How SMBs are building their workforce for the future
• The need to focus efficiency enablers and streamline day-to-day operations

How to Make Your Business More Resilient

Today’s workplace looks a lot different than it did 2 years ago.

In this webinar, you will hear from TriNet’s HR experts as they discuss best practices for staying compliant with today’s employment laws and regulations, as well as potential pitfalls. They will also make a compelling case for partnering with HR specialists with the knowledge and experience to help business owners navigate these pitfalls and other compliance challenges.

- Create a DEI vision and strategy that attracts and engages talent in addition to driving lasting business impact.

Cultivating a Culture of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in a Complex World

The pace of change is accelerating. Most leaders say business is becoming increasingly unpredictable. How do you operate your company differently in this new environment? How do you innovate and stay relevant to what customers need and want? How do you innovate new products, services and experiences, while creating a culture and talent brand that inspires the best and brightest to join your organization?

Join us and learn how forward-looking companies are adapting their strategies, attracting and retaining talent, designing great cultures, and finding innovative solutions to build a strong and enduring company.

Some of the topics we’ll address include:
- How to create a competitive advantage by rethinking and reprioritizing initiatives

- How to develop a people first, talent brand
- How to build a purposeful and inclusive culture
- How to measure what matters most to drive business outcomes

Building a Company for the Future: 5 Strategic Levers for Success

Compensation planning is critical for small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) in a normal labor market, but especially so now as we experience fundamental changes in workforce trends.

In this webinar moderated by Inc. Media and in discussion with TriNet and Salary.com compensation experts, you’ll hear about the impact of a shifting workforce on pay trends and what you should consider as you re-evaluate compensation strategies for your business in 2022.

Learn about: 

- How the great resignation and a job seeker’s market is driving reassessment of compensation
- Sustained impact of hybrid workforce on pay practices, particularly with remote work and geographically distributed workers
- How compensation can support DE&I in a sustainable way
- How to develop a compensation philosophy that aligns with your business strategy and culture
