Managing compensation is a contact sport.
You can’t sit behind a policy and expect things to run smoothly. Even well-paid employees may push for more - especially in hot markets or high-growth roles.
When pay keeps coming up, it’s often about more than money. It’s about clarity, trust and perceived value. As compensation professionals, we need to 'make contact'.

Here are easy ways to handle ongoing salary requests from managers of well paid employees - to keep engagement high without setting poor precedents.
Download the attached Q&A for a starting point for these conversations.
