So how should Christian-led organizations address compensation practices? Well, listen in as I talk with a compensation expert that can help us get a good grasp on this important topic. 

Today, we’re going to look at Rewarding Compensation, the fifth of the eight drivers that can take the health of your workplace culture to the next level.

Rewarding Compensation is all about providing tangible resources in return for the service your employees provide. My guest has so many wonderful stories and practical strategies that can speak to your own compensation plan and how it can strengthen your organization’s workplace culture.

With that, I want to welcome in my guest, Susan Byers, the founder of Church Compensation Services. Based in Dallas, Church Compensation Services specializes in developing compensation programs utilizing the most relevant, reliable, and robust compensation data available for large and growing churches, and this publication is called the MegaChurch Compensation Report.

Prior to founding Church Compensation Services, Susan served in the Human Resources Department of a large health care organization as the Compensation and Benefits Director.

Susan, I’m so glad you can join us here as part of our new, going series on “The Eight Ways to Build a Flourishing Workplace Culture.”

Many Christian organizations are working to build their workplace culture to keep our best talent from leaving. Part of the challenge has to do with employees working remotely.

As a leader, you need to recruit and retain a high-quality team to help your organization achieve its mission. Having the right people on your team is always important to a thriving organization.
