Creative Compensation That Drives Performance

What if the way you pay your people could actually change the way they perform?

Compensation is about much more than salary. The right structure can attract better people, increase retention, reward exceptional performance, strengthen culture, and align your team's interests with the success of the business.

In this special 808 Club session, we'll unpack creative compensation strategies that go beyond the traditional paycheque. We'll explore lifestyle benefits employees genuinely value, salary and commission hybrids, performance accelerators, profit sharing, scorecard-based bonuses, pay-for-outcome models, long-term incentives, and even the counterintuitive concept of paying disengaged employees to leave.

We'll examine one central question:

What behaviour is your compensation system actually buying?

This will be a highly collaborative session where members can compare what they're currently doing, what's working, what isn't, and creative compensation models they've encountered in their own businesses.

The goal isn't simply to figure out how much to pay people. It's to understand how to structure compensation so that when your people win, your business wins too.

Come prepared to rethink the paycheque.
