Compensation is one of greatest people-management challenges to address by 2030 (PwC).

There is a pressing need to integrate different streams of research to deal with emerging issues:

• Reports of misbehaviour due to incentives (e.g., Australian Royal banking commission)

• Shift in forms of employment (An industrial relations issue)

• Changes in work design caused by digital and technological transformations forcing us to rethink work skills and consequently compensation (e.g., need for greater adaptability and soft skills)​

You are invited to an industry roundtable, where we will work collaboratively to uncover what needs to be attended more to in the field of compensation and how we can forge collaborations between researchers and practitioners to conduct research to address co-developed topics.
