Pay transparency is no longer optional—it’s an evolving reality shaping the future of compensation practices. As organizations grapple with growing employee demands for clarity around pay decisions, they face a spectrum of transparency, ranging from limited disclosure to full visibility. In this session, we will confront the hard questions organizations are asking today: How do we explain where any one person is paid within the salary range? Why do employees in the same role receive different pay? What are the real tradeoffs of transparency?

This candid conversation will challenge participants to reflect on the complexities of pay decisions while offering actionable strategies for documenting compensation philosophies, aligning pay structures with organizational goals, and creating sustainable processes that promote equity and trust.

With a storied 25-year career, Nanci Hibschman advises on compensation and performance strategies to help create programs that attract and retain exceptional talent while advancing organizational missions. Her understanding of market intelligence and nonprofit talent practices places her at the forefront of the industry.
