Do you struggle with compensating your employees fairly while still maintaining profitability? Are you unsure about when and how to give raises without simply handing out participation trophies?

As a business owner, it’s crucial to have a well-defined compensation philosophy that ensures all stakeholders – your expenses, your team, your company, and your capital – are adequately rewarded for their contributions. Without a framework for making these important decisions, you risk creating confusion, resentment, and misalignment within your team.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools you need to confidently compensate your team in a way that balances their needs with the long-term success of your business.
