Presenter:
Larry F. Beers Director of Consulting, JER HR Group
Mahesh Kumar Managing Director, TraineryHCM | CompBldr®

People don't just want to know what they're paid. They want to understand how compensation decisions are made, why they're made, and what opportunities lie ahead.

The challenge is that compensation decisions rarely reside in a single place. They often span job descriptions, salary surveys, spreadsheets, board discussions, and institutional knowledge that somehow lives with one person who's been there for years. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Many nonprofits approach job descriptions, market benchmarking, compensation, executive pay, transparency, and governance as separate conversations. In reality, they're all connected.

Here's the surprising part: compensation doesn't actually begin with pay. It begins with understanding how work is organized, how roles relate to one another, and how responsibilities are defined.

A clear job structure provides the foundation for fair, consistent, and transparent compensation decisions while supporting recruitment, retention, employee development, succession planning, and regulatory requirements.

Join Larry F. Beers, Director of Consulting, JER HR Group, and Mahesh Kumar, Managing Director of CompBldr®, for a practical discussion grounded in decades of nonprofit consulting experience. Together, they'll connect the dots and show how leading nonprofit organizations are transforming compensation from an annual task into a connected workforce strategy that strengthens organizational trust. You'll also see these concepts in action through a live demonstration of CompBldr®.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify the foundational elements of a connected nonprofit compensation strategy.
  • Explore how connected compensation practices strengthen pay equity, transparency, employee development, retention, and organizational trust.
  • Understand how to create a consistent, transparent, and defensible compensation program that supports nonprofit governance and regulatory compliance.
