Coaching Managers on Impactful Pay Conversations

Coaching Managers on Impactful Pay Conversations

Pay conversations shouldn't be a source of tension. Leaders look to HR to help them pause, probe, and deliver messages that build trust with employees, especially when addressing external salary data, internal comparisons, or inflation concerns.

This interactive session equips HR and compensation professionals with the tools and language to confidently guide leaders through real compensation and performance discussions.

You Will Learn To:

• Simplify your compensation structure and reinforce your pay philosophy.

• Translate complex data into simple, leader-ready language.

• Use the ENGAGE™ model to shift conversations from defensive to productive.

• Coach managers to respond confidently to tough questions like, "Why do peers earn differently?" or "My job is posted higher somewhere else."

Lead the charge in building transparent pay practices and ensure every pay conversation reflects company values. Pay isn't a once-a-year topic—it's a story employees carry with them. Learn how to shape it.

Key Takeaway: You’ll receive a Coaching Conversation Toolkit with talk tracks, guiding questions, and case-study responses you can use immediately to support your managers.
