Balancing Mission and Money: Developing a Compensation Philosophy
WEDNESDAY, december 11, 2024
12:00pm - 1:00pm cst
WEBINAR

Join us for an insightful 1-hour webinar on developing a sustainable compensation philosophy for arts organizations. In an era where mission-driven work often meets limited funding, a compensation philosophy can serve as a decision-making compass. How can we align our current compensation practices with organizational values? How are our values guiding our efforts to grow, expand, and improve upon our pay equity initiatives?

The discussion will include:

  • An overview of compensation philosophies and why they matter for mission-focused organizations.

  • Tips for aligning compensation with organizational values and funding realities.

  • Tools to start these conversations at your organization.

  • Real-world examples of successfully implemented sustainable compensation practices.

This webinar is perfect for anyone looking to create a fair, mission-aligned approach to compensation that attracts and retains talent while staying true to core values.
