How it is used changes over a career
Failure to keep compensation skills honed is a non-starter
Financial and business acumen are as important as compensation skills
Must know how to get things done in your company
Without breaking any eggs or bruising egos
Communication and team skills are essential
Keep a personal network of external peers, and / or find some other way of keeping abreast of industry trends and other company practices
18. Key Takeaways Company cultures are important, and generally unique
Compensation programs must be respectful and reinforcing of the culture
Must have working knowledge of all areas of total rewards
As we look forward, we will all have to learn to do more with less
Constantly add value
Be a leader in your sphere of influence
Treat compensation like any other important company asset or major expense
Developing your fellow practitioners should be one of your most important goals
Think outside the box; constantly look for ways to improve
Recognize staying the same is falling behind
