Quotes:

“When you look at future of work . . . it's how you're doing the work, but it's also when and where you're going to be doing the work. People spend a lot of time talking about future of work, but they don't talk about the implication of what that means for the potential of pay.”


“If you're allowed to provide even more in terms of choice, you start gathering more information. It's actually [your employees] selecting what's important to them. And with that feedback loop, can we actually start making changes to our reward system that are going to better align with the people in the organization? My goodness—isn't that what we all want?”
