How to Know When It's Time to Upgrade Your Compensation Data Sources

Register

Overview

Most comp teams already run more than one data source, and don't add to or upgrade that stack until something forces their hand — a coverage gap, a credibility gap, or another painful survey season. This session walks through how to know which one you're in, and what to do about it.

What you'll learn:

  • The real cost of survey lag — what "quarterly" survey data actually means in practice, and why it's often 6–18 months old by the time it reaches a comp team
  • How to tell whether you have a coverage gap (missing geos/families) or a credibility gap (data that no longer matches what you're seeing in the market)
  • A practical framework for evaluating a new or supplemental data source — coverage, methodology, freshness
  • What "good" looks like: teams running supplementation vs. full replacement, and how to make that call
