How Compensation Bridges the Gap between HR and Finance
April 15th 2026 - 1PM ET / 10AM PT
Is compensation a "necessary HR expense" or a "strategic business driver"? The answer depends entirely on who you ask—and the gap between HR and Finance is wider than most organizations realize.
In this webinar, we dive into Bettercomp’s latest research, conducted in partnership with HR Dive, which surveyed 150 senior leaders to uncover a startling disconnect. While both functions are intimately familiar with compensation, they remain deeply divided on its ultimate purpose, its ROI, and its role in pay equity.
Join leadership from Bettercomp’s own HR and Finance leaders as they go "behind the curtain" to debate these findings. We’ll move beyond the data to provide a roadmap for compensation professionals looking to evolve from administrative executors to influential strategic partners.
Key Takeaways:
• Decoding the Data: A first look at the differing perceptions of pay equity and "people spend" ROI between HR and Finance.
• Speaking Two Languages: How to translate talent goals into financial outcomes (and vice versa) to get executive buy-in.
