Overview

Planning for 2026? The rules are changing. Merit philosophies are evolving, AI roles are redefining pay bands, and retention dynamics are shifting. Companies that understand these trends are best prepared to tackle the unpredictable talent market in 2026.


Join Pave Founder and CEO Matt Schulman and Alex Cwirko-Godycki, Head of Marketing and GM of Market Data, as they break down what's actually happening in compensation—using Pave's real-time data and a new survey from Alpine Rewards.

You'll get answers to:

  • How much budget are companies allocating to raises?
  • How are your peers structuring merit cycles?
  • What is "job hugging," and how is it impacting turnover?
  • Which hot jobs do I need to build into my 2026 budget?
