How to Build (or revamp) your Compensation Philosophy
A section-by-section guide for HR and People leaders who need to document their comp approach, close pay equity gaps, and build something that holds up when Finance asks hard questions.
Answer a few questions for free access:
What’s Inside:
- Comp philosophy framework: 14 sections, each with a fill-in-the-blank template so you're not starting from a blank page
- Pay positioning guide: How to write a percentile target that actually constrains decisions instead of just sounding good
- 6 AI prompts: Copy-paste prompts for drafting, auditing, and stress-testing your philosophy against a skeptical CFO
- CFO one-pager: A ready-to-share summary so Finance sees your comp philosophy as a budget control tool
- And much more!
Who It’s For:
- VP People and HR leaders building a comp philosophy from scratch or fixing one that's too vague to actually guide decisions
- Total Rewards and People Ops teams who've inherited a comp program with no documentation and need to get it written down fast
- HR Managers running comp without a dedicated total rewards specialist, who need a practical framework without the jargon

"Initially, we looked at a dedicated people analytics tool that had extraneous features. We ultimately decided that people analytics and headcount planning was really our sore spot and ChartHop’s People Operations Platform solved that better than any other solution we saw."

"ChartHop visualized comp data in a way that was very clear for our compensation managers to see what they could spend, how they could allocate their budget across their team, and the implications of proposed changes. Having this level of clarity helped us hit our goals around compensation spend."

"The amount of time that we've saved on our annual compensation cycle and the improvement in both employee and manager experience with ChartHop is incredible. Instead of having five people work nights and weekends on this, we had two people working on it, with no overtime. The entire process was less stressful for our team, and our data output is reliable and accurate. To add to this we came out on budget."
